Description

PixelColor is a command line tool to get the color of a pixel from the screen.

You can simply pass the pixel coordinates (X and Y) and the pixel color will be printed as result.

System Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Pillow 9.3.0 (https://pypi.org/project/Pillow/)

Usage

PixelColor is a command line utility and it requires some arguments to be passed:

pixelcolor --x <X> --y <Y> [--display <DISPLAY>] [--triplets] [--hex] [--upper]

The arguments --x and --y refer to the pixel coordinates as left and top positions (the first pixel is always 1x1).

The argument --display is the graphical display to use (the DISPLAY variable).

The argument --triplets will return the pixel color value as a triplets of colors (red, green, blue).

The argument --hex will show the colors as hexadecimal values.

The argument --upper will return the hexadecimal digits as upper case.

An example to execute PixelColor will be the following:

pixelcolor --x 100 --y 200 --hex

This will print the pixel color at coordinates 100x200.
