Can someone help me with microsoft paint?

Okey dokey. This sounds like a weird question... but yeah, I need Microsoft Paint help.

I started making my picture, then I saved it, and shut down to eat supper. Then, when I come back, my picture is fine, but the one of the colors I had on there I want again, in a different shade. I use the eye dropper tool thingy, I just don't know how to use that to get to the custom colors...

Pick the eyedropper tool and click on the image on the color you want to pick up. then switch to whatever tool you want and the color will be selected.

Select the colour with the eydropper. Go to Colors%26gt;%26gt;Edit Colors then click "Define Custom Colors" and then you can choose a different shade.
