Eyedropper every where
Imagine what can be done with an Eyedropper on every Color Dropdown picker on the Property Bar, Uniform Fill dialog or Fountain Fill dialog.

In CorelDRAW X3, you can copy an object's fill, outline or both to another, by right-dragging the source object while pressing shift, Alt or both, and drop it onto the destinations object.
What about pressing Ctrl while [right-dragging + Shift or Alt] to alternate the copy; source fill to be destination outline, source outline to be destination fill, or both?
Like copying a fill to another object, imagine that you can right-drag an object onto the destination object’s interactive vector handles or markers; with Shift to drop its fill, Alt to drop its outline, and Shift + Alt to drop a fill and outline mixed color.
This method needs the Interactive Fill tool to be active and the interactive vector handles or markers to be shown (an object with fountain fill selected).
This can be applied to the Interactive Drop Shadow tool, the Interactive Transparency tool and the Interactive Mesh Fill tool.
What happens when you click, right-click, [Ctrl + click] or [Ctrl + right-click] a color from a palette?
Imagine that you can click, right-click, [Ctrl + click] or [Ctrl + right-click] the drawing window instead, with the One-Shot Eyedropper.
Press a key, and from the drawing colors
The One-Shot Eyedropper can reach and sample from the desktop.
If you Ctrl+click to mix colors, the One-Shot Eyedropper remains active. When you finish mixing, press Esc key (or space).

It is possible for the administrators to do that, but it can have some side effects, especially for those subscribing to the forums through RSS or accessing them through NNTP.

Now in CorelDRAW X4, you can use <Ctrl+click a color swatch> to mix the color of the Artistic media :)Unfortunately, changing the Artistic Media color will also be applied to its control curve. If the control curve is closed (or the Fill open curves option is checked), it will be filled with the new color or mix :(

Interesting suggestions. Mixing colors by Ctrl+Click opens up a more intuitive way if mixing colors.

I lobbied hard for this in the beta group, but unfortunately without result. It feels like stone age that you have to write color values in. This and the lack of a hex color model is the most urgent updates for color in Draw I believe. Now you can use RGB values in CSS so perhaps Hex is getting obsolete. If you wait long enough to implement a feature, it will have become obsolete, so then you won't have to do it
I do find it strange that CorelDraw Still doesnt have a Hex option on colour selection, how tough would it be to impliment? Surely its just a different way of associating colour values
