It's so ugly it hurts, but:

   put the screenmouseloc into tLoc
   set the screenmouseloc to x,y -- the location you need to read
   put the mousecolor into tColor -- this is the color
   set the screenmouseloc to tLoc

It happens so fast I don't even need to lock the screen, but you might 
want to test on slower machines to make sure.

I vaguely remember someone else had another way to do it but I can't 
recall what it was. Scott Raney suggested the above when I asked about 
the same thing some years ago.
