I know you can get the color of a pixel using
GetPixelColor through GDI32 but there has GOT to be a way
to get a twip color because you can pset using twips and
have different colored twips within a pixel.

I NEED THIS SO BAD!!!

I think you're getting a little confused about how drawing works in Windows,
there's no such thing as the colour of a twip - It's a unit of measurement
rather than a picture element.  What is most likely throwing you is that the
term 'pixel' is used to describe both a unit of measurement and the smallest
element of a picture (The measurement simply means that out unit is the same
size as one pixel on the current device.)
Having got that cleared up, it should now be a lot clearer about how to get
the colour of a pixel at a certain position on a DC measured in twips,
simply convert the coordinates from twips to pixels and then get the colour
of the pixel at that point with either the Point() method or the GetPixel()
API call.
If you're working with GDI mapping modes and 'true' twips then you'll need
to use the LPtoDP() API call to perform the conversion for you, otherwise
just use the ScaleX/Y() methods of many controls or divide the coordinates
by Screen.TwipsPerPixelX/Y.
Hope this helps,
