Hey guys thanks in advance to all, I running with this issue for a while trying to figure out how can I use the i dropper tool in illustrator like you would in Photoshop? when you try to sample colors outside of the gradient panel/color pallet panel, i dropping is not simple as its on Photoshop. usually you need to add the colors to your swatches panel making sure the panel is un-docked so you can add the colors freely, this process is very annoying and time consuming, not like on Photoshop that you don't need to do nothing and out of the box you can sample colors at any time. I was hoping you guys have a solution maybe a setting you checked or its something I'm doing wrong haha. thanks in advance to all, a picture includes for better understanding cheers.

I was hoping there was a solution, maybe a setting I need to check for this or something I'm doing wrong.
