which is similar with color picker.

looks like a bug in Imagick.

try this in the PHP exec() command to get 8-bit RGB values.

convert im_logo_examples.gif[1x1+140+160] -format "%[fx:floor(255*u.r)],%[fx:floor(255*u.g)],%[fx:floor(255*u.b)]" info:
2,90,164

See IM examples, Quantization and Dithering, extracting image colors

It first talks about all the colors, but then goes to methods for getting the color of a specify pixel.

The best way from command line is to either use a -format FX/Pixel escape to get a specific pixel values, or to crop the image down to just that one pixel and then use format or txt: output.

rgb(232,54,58)

# ImageMagick pixel enumeration: 1,1,255,rgb
0,0: (232, 54, 58) #E8363A rgb(232,54,58)

The trouble with [pixel: ...] is that sometimes it returns a color name and not an rgb triplet. That was why I used [fx: ...] in my example.

thank you , very good answer.
