How to get background color of a dialog/window in RGB format?

Answer 1

Use QWidget::palette to access widget's palette and QPalette::color to obtain the background color:

color = widget.palette().color(QPalette.Background)
print color.red(), color.green(), color.blue()

QPalette::Window - 10 - A general background color.

QPixmap::grabWindow(); can get you any part of the desktop.
