The Color Picker Tool is used to find colors on the active layer or
image. By clicking a point on an image or layer, you can change the
active color to that which is located under the pointer. Using the
Sample Merge option will allow you to select colors which are formed by
layers with less than full opacity or layers which are using layer
modes.
