OS X Wallpapers and Background Color

I want to share something interesting about how you set your desktop background on OS X. I like to display my desktop background as 'Fit to Screen'. This often will leave a solid color background around the wallpaper. I found that the Color Picker that pops up when you click on the background color box allows for picking a color from the wallpaper itself.

You need to select the magnifying glass to the left of the search bar. Then the cursor will change to a magnifying glass. Simply find a spot on the screen with an interesting color and click. This will set the background to that color. I like to get creative with matching a pleasing background color to the specific wallpaper.
