Eye dropper tool missing from Color Picker

After updating Illustrator to 27.5 I am missing the eye dropper tool from the colour picker, and from within the recolor artwork tool. 

 

I have re-started illustrator, reset my preferences, and restarted my computer as well (mac).

 

Anyone else experiencing this? Any solutions?

 

Thanks.

    There is an eyedropper in the Color Picker in the recent version (29.2.1).

      There is no eyedropper in the color picker, it was there for a brief monent in an update, but it has gone since then.

      But why? it was such a handy tool in recolor artwork dialog box, but now for select a colour copy its code then got recolor artwork and apply it and that too if you have 1 colour to change if you have multiple colours then keep repeating this process. isnt ther any better way
