Solidworks - Grab color from image? 3

[renasis]

Hello,

I am using 2007. Is there a way to grab a color from an image in Solidworks? I have a picture(.jpg) of a leadwire. I want to apply the color from the leadwire picture to the model.

Thanks,

Probably just as fast to grab the color in MS Paint or a photo editing program, then note RGB values. You may want to grab multiple samples, as there can be variation pixel-to-pixel.

I'm with The Tick. I have a RGB color chart posted on my office wall for just such occasions.

Get yourself a color picker program.

Thanks for the responses. Anna thanks, that was what I was looking for. I am suprised SW doesn't have one of these built in.

Here's a link to a great color chart. Includes pantone to RGB conversion numbers.
