: How do I colorize text with eyedropper? If I have a text that I want to have the same color as an object I can't select the text and then use the eyedropper tool to get the color from

@Rivera951

It's your Eyedropper settings. Double-click the Eyedropper tool to open the Eyedropper Settings. Uncheck the Appearance box under the, "Eyedropper Picks Up" column.

If you've been trying to sample colors before changing this setting, you may have to clear the appearance by clicking on the Appearance palette options and choosing the, "Clear Appearance" option.

Step 1 : Write any text desired.

Step 2 : Draw any object such as rectangle or circle,fill it with the color you wish to put.

Step 3 : click on text

step 4: now go to eyedropper tool,click on it and then click on the colored object.

Thats it.

Hm. I have no problem applying the colour from one layer to another. Sure your layer is not locked?

Edit:


First, check what selection tool you are using to select text
Second, try clear appearance. Seems mine says "no appearance" for my
text:





Third, try in another file
Fourth, restart



One way around this be to add the colour to your swatches, and/or make a swatch group. This would probably be the most sustainable thing. You can also choose all the colours used in one layer and make a group.

In one layer, select whatever coloured objects you need, go to the menu in the panel and select add new color group



This gives you a colour group you can use as you please:
