Color picker box missing in Premiere

I think my color picker window is missing. I am trying to find the exact RGB values of colors within a clip, and think I am supposed to have a color picker window here:

In all the tutorials I have found, everyone seems to have a color picker window box here. Do I need to change something in my preferences. This is a brand new install, so I can't imagine that I shut it off.

Thanks,

Nathan

Thanks for all your suggestions so far. I guess what I am looking for is a what to set my white balance to a specific RGB value. Without the color picker box in the color panel, I am puzzled.

That tool isn't to set a specific balance, but simply for you to select a place in the image where you want the three color channels balanced. What it does is balance the tops (gain) of the three channels.

What sort of thing would you like? I'm both puzzled and curious about setting to an RGB value ...

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Forget what I said about setting a white balance. I'm trying to color correct some video to match a photo. I need a color picker within Premiere to give me an RGB value. I need to see (in numbers) how close I am to the color in the photo.

Thanks. Sorry for the confusion.
