Run as Administrator!

If your on linux, you need to also run the program you want the colour from in wine.

I am running Windows XP Professional x86 and my user is part of the Administrators group and there is no UAC so i assume every time i run a .exe i am doing so as an administrator. I tried restarting and it didn't help.

I've been getting colors out of paint and using this as a workaround:

begin
Writeln('Color: ' + IntToStr(RGBtoColor(55,55,55)));
end. 

It would be nice if i could figure out what im doing wrong though.

What are you trying to get the color of? Something in a game, something on a site, what?

I was trying to get colors from Runescape, but i realised that i can't get colors from any window besides Simba.

Yes you can. Well at least I can. And you should be able to. I have no idea why you wouldn't be able to..

Did you set the crosshair target? Using the official Simba binaries? Weird.

in windows XP it works fine, simba is a fish out of water in windows 7 x64

I have this problem in win7… u have to put the windows side by side and then choose the colour picker..
