[javaaspr]

how to find the rgb values for a selected pixel in a frame window or awt window.
Is there any method that takes position of a pixel in a frame window and return color of that pixel

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but for any object that extends Component, you can call getColorModel(), which returns the instance of ColorModel used to display the component.
With the ColorModel, you can then call getRGB(int pixel), passing in the pixel you are interested in, and it will return the color components of the pixel in the default RGB color model format.

For example:

myJFrame.getColorModel().getRGB(400);
