Color Eyedropper for keynotes iPad

Hello. I use iPad Pro and wanted to ask how to open up color eyedroppers on keynote app. When I looked up I only found ways to do it on MacBook but not iPad TT

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

Select the text to receive a color and click the paintbrush tool in the toolbar. Select Text and click the arrow to the right of the Text Color inkwell. When that panel appears, select Color from its toolbar and this provides a matrix of color squares. Swipe left to expose the color wheel, and in the lower left corner will be that elusive eye dropper tool. Click the eye dropper and drag across another color on your slide to set the current eye dropper color.


Tested: Keynote v12.2.1 on iPadOS 16.2.

Sure a lot of hassle to just use the eye dropper.
