Nope. Color cannot be measured, it is created in the brain. Pickers show pixel values (stimulus) and often don't correlate to the experienced color.

But you could use one I think, and then have that colour isolated and then dump it somewhere

You cannot measure perception with a color picker. Eyes + brain is not a measurement instrument.

Just like you cannot measure amount of salt used in a dish with your tongue.
