Is there a way to get the pixel color (RGB) from a control, widget, or
canvas?
The only way i found was to grab pixel RGB from ImageData, but that does
not really help a lot.

thanks

There is no single method for getting a color at a pixel location from a
widget.

You could use GC.copyArea() to get an image of the screen at that location
and get the pixel value from the image.
