One way is to open the file and parse the BMP format to find the
color. You don't need anything else but Dev-C++ for that. There are
various websites that give explanation of format, this might be a good
starting point:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitmap


I don't know if you're using pure Dev-C++? For example if you use it
with wxWidgets plugin (wxDev-C++) you can use wxImage class to load
image from file into memory and then inspect it.

Other than that, perhaps SDL_image library is also a good candidate.

As for IrfanView, maybe you should check it's documentation, maybe it
has some ways to run it from command line and it would output some
info about images. But that still sounds like a weird idea.
