It allows users to easily sample and select colors from an existing image or artwork, making it convenient for maintaining color consistency or matching colors in a design. The term "color picker" is also used interchangeably with the eyedropper tool in some software applications. The smudge tool, on the other hand, is used for blending or smudging colors together, which is unrelated to the described functionality.
