JonCruz,

I've been looking at the dropper-context.cpp code. It deals with sRGB colors only. I think that we should be able to pick an ICC color using the color picker. But there are some issues here:

My probably uninformed opinion is that, as these issues demonstrate, it is not a good idea to try to pick any non-RGB color at all. Inkscape rendering works in RGB, the screen works in RGB, and pretending that what we picked from the screen is not RGB is inherently clumsy. If you want to pass one object's ICC reference to another object, just use copy/paste style, color picker is a wrong tool for this.
