Blender allows the user to easily pick colors using either the eye-dropper tool from the color-wheel, or simply by hovering over a color and pressing E. Clicking and dragging around will sample the average color of pixels moved over while dragging. You can also sample objects from the 3D view similarly by hovering over a field requiring an object chosen, pressing E and clicking an object in the 3D view.

I couldn't find any of these details mentioned anywhere in the docs, so I think we need a dedicated page for sampling colors, objects and whatever else is possible.

This feature is mentioned in the 'Eye Dropper' section here:

http://www.blender.org/manual/getting_started/basics/interface/extended_controls.html

Does that entry satisfy this task?
