Quick Question - Find background colour of image?

[SongtoRuin]

Hi guys,

Its been years since I've used Photoshop, and I'm just trying out the Photoshop CS5 atm (a lot different from the simple PS7 that I was used to!) I've got an image that I want to find the background colour for, as I want to fill it to other images. I remember on the old versions if you erased an area the foreground colour would immediately just turn to the colour that you have deleted, but not anymore - I'm stuck!

Any help, hope I've explained myself well!

Use the Eyedropper Tool. Press I, click the color and there you go.
