Colour Percentage Value

Pardon my English.

I'm just wondering if there is a way in Illustrator to know the percentage of the colours when exporting them to a .ps file. Because sometimes i get a raster file or a file with colour gradients and it is a bit inconvenient to keep switching between softwares.

I know that Acrobat and PS can do such things, i'm just hoping there is a way in Illustrator to do that.

Please refer to attached photo in case my question is not clear enough.

Correct answer Ton Frederiks

In case of an object filled with a gradient, the color picker picks up a screen preview and not the color that makes up the gradient.

You can check the color in the Gradient panel (as suggested above by jdanek).

But if you really want to pick up the color on screen, you can rasterize a copy of the object filled with the gradient and Shift click with the Eyedropper.

Have your Gradient palette and your Color Palette open. Select your gradient and examine the Gradient in your Gradient palette. There should be a color anchor halfway between the ends of the gradient. Click on that anchor and it will give you the color percentages in the Color palette. If you want a specific area in the gradient, just click in the Gradient palette and a new anchor will be created that gives you the percentages in the Color palette.
