;Task:
Get color information from an arbitrary pixel on the screen, such as the current location of the mouse cursor.
The mouse cursor may or may not have to be active in a GUI created by your program. These functions are OS related.
<br><br>
=={{header|6502 Assembly}}==
How this is done, and whether this is even possible, depends entirely on your video hardware (some machines such as the NES cannot control color data or graphics data at the pixel level.) And good luck trying to explain how this works on the Apple II.
===easy6502/6502js===
Video memory is mapped into $0200-$05ff, and the bottom 4 bits of each byte represent the pixel's color.
<syntaxhighlight lang="6502asm">LDA $0200 ;get the color of the top-left pixel of the screen
LDA $05FF ;get the color of the bottom-right pixel of the screen.</syntaxhighlight>
===Nintendo Entertainment System===
The NES can't determine the color of a single pixel. The closest you can get is a 16 pixel by 16 pixel section of graphics. And that only tells you the palette in use at that location, not the actual color. Color cells are 2 bits per 16x16 section, in the order of top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right.
<syntaxhighlight lang="6502asm">;this code will fail to produce the desired result unless it executes during vblank or forced blank.
;address $23C0 = first color cell of nametable $2000
LDA #$23
STA $2006
LDA #$C0
STA $2006
LDA $2007
AND #%11000000 ;00------ = top-left corner uses palette 0, 01------ = top-left corner uses palette 1, etc.</syntaxhighlight>
This code assumes no scrolling has taken place, as it only reads the color cells from the top-left nametable. Generally speaking, reading VRAM in this way is not a good practice, as it's very slow and can only be done during vBlank when you have better things to do. For an actual game, it's much easier to keep a shadow of this data in normal RAM and read that instead, and pretend that VRAM is write-only.

MS-DOS has a built-in way to calculate the color of a pixel on-screen.
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm">;input: cx = x coordinate of pixel, dx = y coordinate of pixel, bh = page number

=={{header|App Inventor}}==
App Inventor has two Canvas blocks to determine the color under a pixel.<br>
'''GetBackgroundPixelColor''' returns a color from the Canvas but ignores Ball sprites and ImageSprites.<br>
'''GetPixelColor''' returns a color from either the Canvas or a Ball sprite or ImageSprite.<br>
In the app's display below, the purple Ball sprite was touched on the left canvas, but the pixel color (green) returned was from the area below it.

There is no HSCRN( X,Y) function in Applesoft. What follows is an elaborate subroutine that determines the hi-res color at the location given by variables X and Y on the current hi-res page. A color value in the range from 0 to 7 is returned in the variable C. The color is determined by peeking at adjacent pixels and the Most Significant Bit [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_significant_bit MSB]. The VTAB routine is used as an aid to calculate the address of pixels. Other colors beyond the 6 hi-res colors can be displayed by positioning pixels at byte boundaries using the MSB. This routine is limited to the eight hi-res colors.

'''Example 1:''' Commodore 64
There are no graphics commands in Commodore 64 BASIC. High resolution (hires) graphics are programmed by directly manipulating the hardware registers and memory.
The Commodore 64 hires bitmap is 320×200, subdivided into 8×8 cells starting at the top left and moving right. Each cell is addressed top to bottom by 8 bytes. Each byte controls a horizontal row of 8 bits. This requires calculation on the programmer's part to translate X,Y coordinates into a specific memory address/value combination (lines 1210 through 1220).

'''Example 2:''' Commodore Plus 4 and 128
On both machines, there is a split graphics-text screen that can be used, and the extended BASIC provides functions for reading pixel and color values from the bitmap.
<syntaxhighlight lang="gwbasic">10 color 0,1:color 1,3: rem set border to black and pixel color to red

==={{header|FreeBASIC}}===
This is a very simple example from the FreeBASIC documentation. To obtain the color of an arbitrary screen pixel (i.e. outside
the graphics screen controlled by FB) one would need to use API functions.

' Print the color of a point on the line

Return the color used at the x,y position in the current output. If the current output has an alpha channel then the result will be a 32bit RGBA value, otherwise it will be a 24bit RGB value. The color can be split in their RGB and alpha values by using the Red(), Green(), Blue() and Alpha() functions.

To get the colour of a pixel on the screen when it is not managed by PureBasic (ie. from other programs' windows), it is necessary to use Windows API. This works only under Windows.

Colors is M2000 have a negative value for RGB, or positive for default colors (0 to 15 are the default colors). Also numbers above 0x80000000 (is a positive number), are Windows colors too. Point return a negative value so we have to make it positive to get the RGB value where Red is the least significant byte. Html color has R as the most significant byte (of three), so to display properly we have to use a mix of Right$(),Mid$() and Left$() functions on string representation on color$.

RPL was designed for black-and-white LCD screens. The <code>PIX?</code> instruction returns 1 if the designated pixel is black - actually dark gray or blue, depending on the model - and 0 if it's not.
(10,10) PIX?
<code>PIX?</code> was introduced in 1990 with the HP-48. On previous machines (HP-28C/S), the only way to test a pixel was to convert the status of the 131x32 LCD matrix into a 548-character string using the <code>LCD→</code> command, and then test the appropriate bit of the appropriate character.
