How to change the colour of the red curtain in Transition and exactly match to a colour of a T-Shirt of a person in the clip?

How to change the colour of the red curtain in Transition and exactly match to a colour of a T-Shirt of a person in the clip? I tried to match manually using the colour spectrum in curtain colour option, but I couldn't match close to the T-Shirt colour. Is there a way to select the colour from the T-Shirt and then apply to the curtain so that I can get the exact match. Help please.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

it worked for me - are you using the color picker and selecting the shirt in the video?

Thanks Furrytoes. Sorry, I am seeing the above Colors layout first time. Is that in FCP X. I am not an experienced person in this field. I don't know where the color picker is. Would you please explain little more in detail and achive what I am looking for. Thanks for any further reply.

Click the color swatch in the inspector, but the popup triangle, which opens the Motion color selector.

Mr Tom Wolsky, thanks for your reply. You are at level 10. I am at level 1. Strictly speaking, I am less than level 1. So, I couldn't follow your direct simple guidance. Do I need to have Motion 5. I would be grateful to you if you can explain like how you explain to a child. Thanks.

In the inspector there is an area to change the color of the curtain. This has two separate controls. One is a little triangle popup that opens a color board. This is the Motion color selection. No you don't need Motion. Next to it is a color swatch. Click the color swatch, not the triangle, and you will get the Apple color picker illustrated above. Follow those directions to select a color from anywhere on the screen.
