getColorAt() only works on world objects, not actor objects. Can change this?

After doing more experimenting, I've discovered that the "getColorAt" method only appears to detect colors of images from the World classes (like a background), but not from the Actor classes. Is there a way to make it so that the getColorAt() method will detect a color from an Actor class instead? Or is there a method in the Java API that could do it? I'm looking to detect the color of a single pixel of an actor image.

Or even better, there seems to be a method in the java API called "getPixelColor(int x, int y)" I think this might be what I'm looking for, but I can't seem to import it. It says it's part of java.awt.Robot but when I import that it still can't find the method. Anyone know how to access getPixelColor??

Ok, I'm giving up now. Nothing works.

If you want to get the color of a pixel in the image of an actor, use (from within the class of the actor whose image you want the pixel color of): 
Color color = getImage().getColorAt(x, y);
The values of 'x' and 'y' are offsets from the top-left corner of the image itself.
