Java get color of pixel LIVE

I have a problem with finding the current color under the cursor.

My code:

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.MouseInfo;
import java.awt.Point;
import java.awt.PointerInfo;
import java.awt.Robot;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        PointerInfo pointer;
        pointer = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo();
        Point coord = pointer.getLocation();

        Robot robot = new Robot();
        robot.delay(2000);

        while(true) {
            coord = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation();       
            Color color = robot.getPixelColor((int)coord.getX(), (int)coord.getX());
            if(color.getGreen() == 255 && color.getBlue() == 255 && color.getRed() == 255) {
                System.out.println("WHITE FOUND");
            }
            robot.delay(1000);
        }
    }
}

When I run it, even when I hold my mouse on the gray area, I am getting “WHITE FOUND WHITE FOUND” message.

What can be the problem? Can you guys test if it does not work for you also?

Added Picture: I am holding my cursor on Eclipse gray area but getting “WHITE FOUND” message.

You might also like Zoom, which uses the related method createScreenCapture() to collect screen pixels en masse and display color information about each in a tool tip.

You're using getX() twice. [min length]

I think the problem is you are using getX twice instead of getX and getY

Color color = robot.getPixelColor((int)coord.getX(), (int)coord.getX())

Should be

Color color = robot.getPixelColor((int)coord.getX(), (int)coord.getY())
