You are welcome.

The ToolTip will go off screen. There are ways around that, but you might want to try TrayTip:

Opt("MouseCoordMode", 1)
HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "Terminate")

While 1
    $pos = MouseGetPos()
    TrayTip("", "X: " & $pos[0] & ", " & _
            "Y: " & $pos[1] & " Color: " & _
            PixelGetColor($pos[0], $pos[1]), 10)
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func Terminate()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>Terminate

This is good too , but other is better for me, my tray crashed after using Traytip for a while.
