--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
In effect we already have this, just not in the "eyedropper" motif--and see
also bug 93813 to rework the SD color replacment.

That is, the 'Background Color' TB button opens the common color picker
displaying the active palette (usually 'Standard'). And across the bottom is a
swatch bar with the 12 most 'Recent' colors across the UI (so not just current
Calc session).

What is not obvious, is that for any cell on the sheet selected, launching the
'Background Color' picker's button link to the 'Custom color...' dialog will
show the bg color of the cell.

Likewise for the 'Font Color' picker's link to 'Custom color...' where dialog
will show the fg color for font in the cell.

Between the two, it is trivial to match colors for those occasions when the 12
swatch recent bar is insufficient, a textual copy/paste of the RGB. Not quite
dropper style, and could be enhanced to pass RGBA values back to the Recent
swatch bar for bg fill or fg text.
