+Inspect and select colors
+=========================
+
+In the CSS Pane's :ref:`Rules view <page_inspector_ui_tour_rules_view>`, if a rule contains a color value, you'll see a sample of the color next to the value:
+
+.. image:: inspector-css-color-swatch.png
+
+A color sample is also shown for CSS custom properties (variables) that represent colors.
+
+.. image:: css_color_vars.png

+ :class: border
+
+If you click on the color sample, you'll see a color picker popup, enabling you to change the color:
+
+.. image:: color-picker-good-contrast.png
+ :alt: Color picker showing a case of good contrast with the background
+
+.. image:: color-picker-bad-contrast.png
+ :alt: Color picker showing a case of poor contrast" src="color-picker-bad-contrast.png
+
+If the color is a foreground color, the color picker tells you whether its contrast with the background color meets accessibility guidelines. Hovering the mouse over the contrast message gives a more detailed explanation.
+
+The color picker includes an eyedropper icon: clicking this icon enables you to use the eyedropper to select a new color for the element from the page:
