Can't seem to find Color Picker in Illustrator

Hey, I can't find Color Picker in Adobe Illustrator 2021.

I have a document open in RGB mode (I've also tried a CMYK document)...

-Double-clicking on the fill or stroke color selection box (as per Adobe's documentation) doesn't do much except briefly open and then close the color swatch panel;

-single clicking a color selection box brings up swatches which isn't what I want

-shift-clicking a color selection box brings up the Color panel which is okay, and I can move between Grayscale/ RGB/ HSB etc but what I really want is the Color Picker.

- I can bring up windows for Color / Color Guide / Adobe Color Themes which are all lovely but darn, I can't find Color Picker.

- I've poked around in the preferences and didn't see anything promising

 

Suggestions for finding Color Picker?

(Yes, double-clicking on the lower color square works perfectly!)

Smarmy answer, but also, incorrect. Do you even know what the color picker is?  It's an icon in the shape of an eyedropper, and that eyedropper icon does NOT always show up available after activating the box you are showing.

Thanks @Ton Frederiks 

Further, it was the correct answer for the questioner three years ago.

there isn't a Color Theme panel, perhaps you mean Color Guide?
