What do you mean by missing? Does it also not show up if you turn up the brightness value at the right?

@JulianEisel, he's talking about the eyedropper. As far as I know it's only available when painting, then I don't know what the rule is for that one.

In fact, it is not available only for painting. It is available for any color slot in UI (material colors. color ramps, etc...) except, here.

Not a high priority problem. Just consistency remark.
Maybe psy-fi want to force users to use Fill brush while painting. :)

OK !
To clarify, problem is not relative to UV/Image Editor. It is specific to image creation.
We can create image from buttons on toolself of 3D view, Texture tab of Properties Editor, Image node, etc...

Each time, it is same color picker panel with missing eye dropper.

Might easily be a todo, but need to investigate first.

Had a look at the code but this was disabled intentionally. There is a comment saying:

  /* if color block is invoked from a popup we wouldn't be able to set color properly

 * this is because color picker will close popups first and then will try to figure
 * out active button RNA, and of course it'll fail
 */

So the eyedropper is disabled for color buttons inside popups as it doesn't work properly.

Anyway, thanks for the report, but this is considered as a todo.
