Also spelled whatdotcolour (Canadian spelling of colour), it is a Turing function which returns the colour of a specific pixel. Often used for collision detection, it is an easy solution when creating something using Turing graphics alone without external images being involved.
It's actually so important that there's a whatdotcolor Warrior mod.
Here's a quick example of a few basic graphics functions which uses whatdotcolour to check if the mouse is above a red circle.
