Agreed.

Several graphics applications use this approach:

1. Select picker.
2. Choose colour.
3. The tool you used before clicking the picker
   is automatically selected.

This works very well.

Of course we can use 'right-click to pick up colour', but
this is probably to difficult for the youngest users.
