LOL! and startle the cat... Maybe I should give up on telling you to read the manual (especially relevant for someone who thinks he can educate others). In Poser 4 ProPack the eyedropper tool is shaped like a paint bucket when it is used on a figure or prop in the view window and like an eyedropper when you change the color of a light. Haven't you ever changed the color of anything? Or do you just accept things as they are laid out for you by others? With 16 million colors (or more) available on even the cheapest of monitor/video cards, there isn't room to assign names to all of them. You'll simply have to recognize the color when it shows in the palette window or learn how to use a palette in a paint program. Matching colors already existing is a first step. Meanwhile, under Render > Materials, you can choose the "crayon picker" from the selection of palettes. That will give you names with the colors. Carolly
