I'm brand new to this forum (and quite new to GIMP)
I need to pick a color from an image and then fill part of another image with that color.

Cam someone tell me how can I do that?

TIA

Picking the colour is the easy bit.
As well as the color picker tool, if you are using the paint tool, hold the CTRL key down and the tool temporarily changes to the color picker. Sets the Foreground (FG) colour.

The harder part is changing the colour of another part of the image. All sorts of ways to do that and usually depends on the image.

This one I color select part of the image: screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/evfBABb.jpg


Then use the bucket fill tool to fill the selection: https://i.imgur.com/ecwEJQ4.jpg
