Very simple using the Windows API, here's an example:

COLORREF GetMousePixel() {
  HDC hdc = GetDC( NULL );
  POINT mp; // Mouse point
  GetCursorPos( &mp );
  COLORREF pixel = GetPixel( hdc, mp.x, mp.y );
  return pixel;
}

You can then use GetRValue, GetGValue, and GetBValue to get the individual colours from the pixel.
