 You could take a screen shot (in Windows hit the PrtSc key) of your
 desktop or whatever program you have open, then in GIMP click File 
 Create from Clipboard, and use the colour picker on that to select what
 you want. Then just close the screen shot, don't save.

In linux I use KColorChooser instead and paste the chosen #color into gimp.
It's not too cumbersome.

Nothing so complicated!

Double-click the the Foreground colour square in the Toolbox to open 
the CHANGE FOREGROUND COLOR dialogue, then click the Colour Picker 
button to the right of the HTML NOTIFICATION field. (Works for the 
background colour too!)
