Selecting a specific color in GIMP (without clicking)

I'm looking for a stray pixel in a bmp using GIMP. Ideally, I could simply select a specific color; however, the only method I've so far been able to find is to use the "select by color" tool. This requires clicking on the color I want to select within the picture. However, I need to select one where I don't specifically know that it even exists.

(The bmp also has a palette with one or two very similar color, so I need to be sure that I have the right color.)

  • add a small layer above your image, fill it with required color
  • restore your image layer as the active layer
  • start the Color-select tool, make sure the Sample merged option is checked
  • click in the color layer
