Is there a way to drag to select multiple colors? - radzo73 - 07-21-2020
Basically, what I'm looking for is a way to use "Select By Color", but I can drag around to select multiple colors. I'm working with a limited palette (with more than 255 colors, so an Indexed Colormap wouldn't help), but I want to find duplicate colors (i.e two colors that are near-identical and should be one color to make the palette simpler), so using a higher Tolerance defeats the purpose I want.

Nothing as automatic as you want, that I know of.
Maybe use some helpers. Add two docks Pointer and sample points.
The pointer shows the pixel info under the (selection) tool cursor.
Sample points can pre-identify points of similar colour to use. https://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-sample-point-dialog.html
