Here is a small video showing a workaround to getting the eye dropper tool to pick a color outside of the Maya UI.
In short, if you wish to skip the video you can simply accomplish color picking outside of the UI by selecting the eye drop tool and left mouse click hold and move the mouse over to the color you wish to pick and release the mouse button.
Cheers!
i guess you have embedded the playlist instead of just the video...
