There are two colour pickers available in 2.8. (At least true for 2.8.22 
as in the Linux Mint repository)

Both are available from the Toolbox.

The first is accessible from the "Eye Dropper" button, which can only 
select from the image.

The second is accessible from the overlapping Foreground/Background 
colour tool. When you click on either of the foreground/background 
rectangles a colour picker dialogue opens and that includes an eye 
dropper that will select a colour to use for that rectangle anywhere on 
the screen.
