GetPixelColor Inccorect?

[russell 0]

I know this is prob dumb but i run a GetPixelColor in a location and in HEX and decimal it return a different result what "Window Info" gave. the color is pure white F5F5F5 but i get like 9*** or 8D*** if in hex. Here is the code

HotKeySet("{F10}", "exitNow")
Func exitNow()
    Exit
EndFunc ;==>exitNow
ToolTip("F10: Exit", 0, 0)

While 1
$var = PixelGetColor( 1003 , 199 )
;ToolTip ("The decimal color is", 0,0, $var)
ToolTip ("The hex color is",0,0, Hex($var, 6))
WEND

Its from the help, with a kill key. I'm sure im stupid and forgot something i learned before, because i never remember having this much trouble. Can anyone give me a refresher?

it might be because of the PixelCoordMode, try this to figure out which to use:

HotKeySet("{F10}", "exitNow")
Func exitNow()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>exitNow
ToolTip("F10: Exit", 0, 0)

While 1
    Opt("PixelCoordMode", 0)
    $var = PixelGetColor(1003, 199)
    MsgBox(0, "mode : 0", "The decimal color is " & $var)
    MsgBox(0, "mode : 0", "The hex color is " & Hex($var, 6))
    Opt("PixelCoordMode", 1)
    $var = PixelGetColor(1003, 199)
    MsgBox(0, "mode : 1", "The decimal color is " & $var)
    MsgBox(0, "mode : 1", "The hex color is " & Hex($var, 6))
    Opt("PixelCoordMode", 2)
    $var = PixelGetColor(1003, 199)
    MsgBox(0, "mode : 2", "The decimal color is " & $var)
    MsgBox(0, "mode : 2", "The hex color is " & Hex($var, 6))
WEnd
