Thanks very much for your response Martin but I don't understand it. I don't have three vars called R G and B. I just have a number which was retuned from getPixel. Am I being stupid? I can't see how I should do what you sugest. Pease explain a little further.

to go from a 24 bit number to 3x8 bit colour components you can just shift it and mask the bits you need : var r=color >> 16 & 0xFF var g=color >> 8 & 0xFF var b=color & 0xFF that should do the job.
