Eyedropper tool

I've been playing this game for a long time and I've repeatedly come across a problem of trying to match the colors present in the houses you're able to buy, and nothing in the shop seems to match. Can we make enough of a fuss that the devs will notice and add it into the game?

This is one of the most frustrating things about this game, not having access to all available colors, textures, furniture pieces and plants that are used in game. I don't understand this. There are plants/furniture pieces that I cannot re-purchase if I delete them, I can't move them if they are already there and I need to move them over a bit or want to add more. It seems to me that all assets should be available for use in game.

Seriously, I think if you counted the number of people who have requested something like this across all the forum post it would be a LOT of players.

Developers, please, give us some way to ID placed things, including the colors of painted walls!

I would LOVE THIS. If I save a partially worked house and come back later, I can't remember what color I was using etc.

I can't believe this isn't a thing yet. Super frustrating.

I second this. I'm used to building in the sims, and I keep wanting to use the eyedropper tool and realizing it's not there. It's a major pain in the butt. Another solution could be showing the name of the item when you mouse over it, so you can search for it in the catalog. It drives me nuts when I can't quite identify an item (like the smoke detectors, what's up with them? Can't find them anywhere, can't move them, only sell them) and I have no way to search for it.
