Color grading requires matching shots seamlessly across a scene. Grabbing stills allows you to quickly wipe between a reference image and your current clip, saving you from constantly jumping back and forth to check matching colors.

Step-by-Step

While in the Color Page, park your playhead on a perfectly graded frame and press Ctrl + Alt + G (Windows) or Cmd + Option + G (Mac). A still will instantly appear in your Gallery window.
