How to use the Color Picker with CEP nad React

Question

Is there a way to use a color picker?I tried to use EveDropper API but it didn't work.I am developing a CEP for AfterEffects, so it would be better if I could open the AfterEffects color picker.I am looking for a function to get the color of the clicked pixel like this one.I am not an English speaker, so I don't know the name and am having trouble finding it.https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EyeDropper

there's no direct way without resorting to c++.

however, here's a nice javascript workaround poasted way back when in this forum:
