Description

Screen pixel colors can be read from command-line scripts. This small utility is useful for automation, testing, color sampling, and workflows that combine coordinates from tools such as xdotool. It is run from a terminal with the pickpx command. Scripts should avoid sampling sensitive windows accidentally, and coordinate assumptions should be checked across displays and scaling settings.
