I found a solution – not sure if it’s the best, but it works!

target = thisComp.layer("Colors Screen");
colorpicker = thisComp.layer("ColorPicker");
sampledColor_8bpc = 255* target.sampleImage(target.fromWorld(colorpicker.position), [0.5,0.5], true, time);
R = Math.round(sampledColor_8bpc[0]);
G = Math.round(sampledColor_8bpc[1]);
B = Math.round(sampledColor_8bpc[2]);

outputString = "#" +R.toString(16) + G.toString(16) + B.toString(16);
outputString;

Thank you for the response, Ken. Yes, I definitely agree about the wrong workflow. I voiced my opinion but this is the way it has to be done for this project :-/ Your idea about the switcher was good – in my ignorance, I was considering printing the 3D graphics on transparency film and putting it over the monitor 😛 I’m sure that would have been VERY precise 😀 Hahahaha

Thanks again!

Excellent advice. Thank you!

Thanks for the response. I’ll give it a try.
