To do it at runtime you can use something like the following, where mc representa whatever the instance name of your movieclip is...

import flash.display.BitmapData;

var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(mc.width,mc.height);
bmd.draw(mc);
var pixelValue:uint = bmd.getPixel(1, 1); // specify a point where the color is
trace(pixelValue.toString(16)); // this outputs the hex color value

What does the movieclip look like?  If it is one solid color, then you should be able to select the color picker in Flash and use it to pick the color from the movieclip.
