Question

Is there any way to make the eyedropper function work correctly with dimmer enabled?

I am using Adobe PremierePro on Windows.

Even with the monitor set to the lowest brightness, the light on the monitor is still bright, so I always use an external software program called dimmer to darken the monitor.
However, in the above situation, when I use the eyedropper function in Adobe PremierePro software to extract the color of the area where I click, it extracts a darker color than the correct color.
This problem does not occur when dimmer is not functioning.

Is there any way to make the eyedropper function work correctly with dimmer enabled?

Wow, you must have a very dark room.
I doubt there is a solution - if dimmer is adjusting the output at the OS level then Premiere won't know anything about it.
If your room was brighter, perhaps the monitor won't seem so bright and you wouldnt need Dimmer. Or maybe there is something wrong with your monitor.
