The image isn't "painted" on the canvas, so to answer your specific 
question, no, you can't get the color of a pixel on the canvas in the 
way that you ask.

However, when you click on the canvas you can get the item that was 
clicked on and the x/y of the click. From that you can figure out which 
pixel of the image is under the cursor. And from that you can query the 
image for the color of a specific pixel.
