Hi Sergey, I found some information wrt the use of getPixelColor() 
compared to the method of using the createScreenCapture() api's.

By using the createScreenCapture():

1. In this case we will be using the low resolution variant of the image 
that was captured.

2. The low resolution variant was created from the high resolution image 
that was actually captured from an high res display. This is done using 
the nearest neighbor interpolation which actually chooses the most 
nearest point's value and ignores the other points values completely.

This may be a reason to get a different color for the said pixel.


By using the getPixelColor():

1. This calls the getRGBPixel().

2. Here we return only the 0th pixel color ignoring the scaling effect 
in the case of hidpi display units, where there may be many sub pixels 
for the given user space coordinates.

This may be the reason for getting failed here.


Thanks and regards,

Shashi
