I tried gpick, gcolor2, gcolor3, pick, pychrom and none of them seem to work with Wayland. I am running Arch Linux 64-bit with GNOME 3.22.1 through XWayland (default since 3.22.x). I don't want to change into an X session just to pick a colour.



Anyone had success with this?

    I don't think this is currently possible with wayland, because wayland applications don't have access to the surfaces of other apps.

No, security requires only a trusted app to be permitted access to the output of other apps.



"In GNOME, you can use Screenshot tool (available in overview or as Printscreen hotkey or as gnome-screenshot command) to capture a screenshot of the full desktop or a particular window."



Then use gimp/krita/etc to get the color off the image.
