Select color directly from raster image

Hello, I needed to know how to click on something in a raster image and "pick up" that color... What in other programs is called a "dropper" tool. I know AutoCAD has the capability, but all the help files direct me to a specific section under Raster tools that doesn't appear on my ribbon (despite having AutoCAD 2021), and it doesn't list a keyboard command. Preferably I'd just like a keyboard command for this.

AutoCAD alone does not have that for raster images. Sorry.

Raster Design is an add-on you get from your accounts manager then install deliberately/on purpose, it doesn't happen on its own https://www.autodesk.com/products/autocad/included-toolsets/autocad-raster-design

What do you plan to do with the 'Dropper' tool?

You have to do it manually, getting the RGB info from MS Paint or Paint.Net, then input that back into autocad.
