You can get the colour of the point you click on by including the following code in an object’s mouseClicked event:`import java.awt.Robot
robot = java.awt.Robot()
x = event.x + event.source.getLocationOnScreen().x
y = event.y + event.source.getLocationOnScreen().y
colour = robot.getPixelColor(x, y)`Can I get my ‘Clever Scripter’ badge now please? 🙂
