I'm no longer having any problems now that I've updated to 6.5.1, working on Windows 8.1. I haven't tested on a Mac or in a standalone yet.

Paul, many thanks for this workaround. It may come in quite handy when I distribute and need it for the Mac side of things.

Ray,

This 'workaround' may work for you until the next release…

on mouseDown
    put mouseColourWorkAround (the mouseLoc) into tColour
    answer tColour -- Or do whatever you need with tColour
end mouseDown

function mouseColourWorkAround pLoc
    lock screen
    import snapShot from rect ( item 1 of pLoc & "," & item 2 of pLoc & "," & \
    item 1 of pLoc + 1 & "," & item 2 of pLoc + 1) of this card
    put the imageData of the last image into tData
    delete the last image
     put charToNum (char 2 of tData)  & "," & \
          charToNum (char 3 of tData)  & "," & \
          charToNum (char 4 of tData)  into tValue
    unlock screen
    return tValue
end mouseColourWorkAround

Works fine for me in a mouseDown, but maybe a little OTT for a mouseMove.

I've just downloaded and tried Richmond's test stack.  I can verify that 
mouseColor does NOT work using 6.5.0.

Klaus, looking forward to the fix.  Thanks.

I'd like to try 6.5.1 as Scott Rossi suggested but as I click on Help and 
choose Check for Updates I'm informed there are none, so I assume 6.5.1 is a 
beta release.  How do I get those?

Thanks,

Ray

Does anybody know if there's a problem with getting the mouseColor in 6.5.0?  
I'm using Windows 8.1 and all I get is 0,0,0 regardless as to whether I'm on my 
laptop which only uses one monitor, or my desktop which uses two.

I have just uploaded a test stack: 
http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=18796

and can report that mouseColor works with 6.5.1 on UbuntuStudio Linux 13.10

Please consider downloading the stack, running it on whatever operating system 
you work with
and reporting back.

Richmond.
