Color Generator Color Pick

Hello,
I find the Color Generator a great tool to fill sign boards etc.
But sometimes I come across a problem: since the default is white color, meaning when I activate the Color Generator it fills first with white and then I need to use the eyedropper to select the fill color. Would it be possible to get the fill color before? Because sometimes there is no space to get the fill color because it is masked out and therefore can not pick a color.
Thank you for any suggestion
