Color Theme tool like in InDesign
Would love to see this implemented in Illustrator as I, like many others, like to import JPEGS or screen grabbed colour samples to take colors from it manually. It would be awesome to have a colour theme generated from those images that could work within Illustrator and then used across the adobe library. Also this might be something that could also allow you to select an artboard of choice and generate the top 5 colors of that illustration.

In Ai... well, the Recolor 'panel' (that modal abomination — but not the full dialog!) has Color Theme Picker button, which should do a similar thing... but it seems to be broken for me (at least in Beta) and does nothing when I click it — cursor does not change, nothing get picked.
And surely I have a bunch of objects selected and try to recolor them. It’s flipped upside down in Ai, it’s not the image is selected so I can extract the color FROM it, but objects, that I have to apply this extracted theme TO — before actually making sure it’s the one I like. I hate gambling in pro tools.

Desktop Ai now follows the iPad version rather strangely. I believe that their Advanced Recolor pseudo-panel is modeled on tablet analogue, and on iPad it behaves like this because iPad decided that a tablet should only have something as a tool if only it creates something on a canvas. Color Theme Tool is obviously not a tool that creates something and they decided to follow this thread to be consistent across two Illustrators, rather than respect consistency across other desktop apps.
I don’t agree with this and agree with you. Voted -

The 'color theme picker tool' is missing from the latest version of Illustrator 22.10?
Any ideas please?
