Sometimes you want to use a specific colour rather than standard red, yellow, orange, etc.  Often that colour is off a logo or part of a website page or website image.  You can use this choose colour from picture screen to find out what colour that is and collect the RGB colour system numbers for use in Repeat Signage.  You have two options:

Load picture

If you have a picture with your target colour in, for example a picture file with your organisation's logo in, then you can use the 'Load picture' button to display this picture on screen.  You can then scroll around then picture and click on the pixel that contains the target colour.   This then puts the colour in the 'Selected colour' preview panel and displays the RGB colour system numbers for your chosen colour.  Clicking on OK then returns your selected colour to the calling screen.

Copy from clipboard

If the colour you want is part of the background colour on a website page, or somewhere in another program, you can use the Windows print screen key on your keyboard, which is often at the top right of your keyboard and labelled 'Prnt Scrn'.  When you can see the colour you want on screen (in your browser or another program) then press the print screen keyboard key to capture the current image of your screen into the computer's clipboard memory.  You can then return to Repeat Signage and click on 'Copy from clipboard'.  This will insert a copy of your screen image into the preview box so that you can then select a colour by clicking on a pixel that contains it.  This then puts the colour in the 'Selected colour' preview panel and displays the RGB colour system numbers for your chosen colour.  Clicking on OK then returns your selected colour to the calling screen.
