Then in left hand toolbar the colour of the foreground should have changed. Double click that and it will give you the colour value.

To view the measurements of an image/icon, go to Window > Info to show the info window.
Then, select the element that you would like to show the measurements for, and the width and height should show in the Info window.
An easy way to select your chosen element is just to Cmd + Click on the thumbnail of the layer that its on.
Hope this helps?
