Epiphany (and galeon iirc) will remember the
K+ colour picker dialog supports taking colours from
anywhere on the screen, so if an application re-invents a colour picker
and doesn't implement that feature too, that is their problem. I don't
believe there is a use-case for a dedicated panel applet, as ideally the
eyedropp
from a terminal are advanced enough to know that
happens[1].
