+ <title>Color picker</title>
+
+ <p>The <app>color picker</app> plugin helps you to insert the character
+ codes that represent a certain color. This can make it easier to choose
+ and use the correct color in your programs.</p>
+
+ <p>To enable the color picker plugin, select <guiseq><gui>
+ Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Plugins</gui><gui>Color Picker</gui>
+ </guiseq>.</p>
+
+ <p>To open and use the color picker:</p>
+ <steps>
+ <item><p>Place your cursor at the point in your document where you want
+ to insert the color code.</p></item>
+ <item><p>Select <guiseq><gui>Tools</gui><gui>Pick Color...</gui></guiseq>.
+ The color picker dialog will appear.</p></item>
+ <item><p>If the color that you want to select is currently on your screen,
+ click on the icon that looks like an eyedropper.</p>
+ <p>Your mouse pointer will change appearance, and will look like an
+ eyedropper.</p>
+ <p>Use the eyedropper and click on the portion of your screen that
+ contains the color you want to use. The color code for that color
+ will appear in the color picker window.</p></item>
+ <item><p>To insert that color code into your document, click <gui>
+ Insert</gui>. The code will be inserted where you had placed your
+ cursor.</p></item>
+ <item><p>To close the <app>color picker</app>, click <gui>Close</gui>.
+ </p></item>
+ </steps>
+
+ <note style="tip"><p>You can make fine-grained adjustments to the color by
+ adjusting the values for Hue, Saturation, Value, Red, Green, or Blue.</p>
+ <p>Additionally, you can save colors by right-clicking on any of the colored
+ boxes in the color picker, and selecting <gui>Save color here</gui>. This
+ will make it easier to insert commonly-used colors later.</p>
