import java.awt.Point;
import java.awt.Robot;
//  w w  w .j  ava2 s .  c  om
public class Main {

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    System.out.println(getPointerColor());
  }

  public static Color getPointerColor() throws AWTException {
    Point coordinates = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation();
    Robot robot = new Robot();
    return robot.getPixelColor((int) coordinates.getX(),
        (int) coordinates.getX());
