Swatch Lab

Click anywhere on the picture to sample it, exactly like the Eyedropper. Flip Sample Size and watch the same click give you a different color. Save five, and they turn into a gradient. Then crack the hex quiz.

Each swatch is a color stop. Photoshop builds gradients exactly like this: stops along a bar, blended in between. Click a swatch to load it back into the picker.

Hex is the three numbers in pairs.

Try this: set Sample Size to Point and click the same spot of sky three times, one pixel apart. Then do it on 5 × 5. Point grabs one pixel, noise and all. 5 × 5 Average grabs what your eye actually sees.
