The ui for picking colors in Morphic is still deeply counterintuitive -- a long-standing known problem.

If you want to indicate a target color for a tile (such as in an "is over color" phrase) by pointing at a color you see elsewhere in your squeak window, you must first click on the color swatch on the tile to get a color-picker, then button down anwhere *inside* the swatch, then, with button still down, move the mouse to be over the color you want to indicate, then let go of the button.
