how to get the color value of a pixel in pygame?

I want to get the color value of a pixel. I have read something about a function called "pygame.Surface.get_at()". But when I use this function i get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
pygame.Surface.get_at(300, 200)
TypeError: descriptor 'get_at' requires a 'pygame.Surface' object but received a 'int'

You have two problems here:

  • get_at requires a tuple (x, y) so you should invoke it with:

    .get_at((300, 200))

  • You should provide the surface for which you want to get the pixel color. Something like this:

    screen = pygame.display.set_mode((150, 50))
...
screen.get_at((300, 200))
