Your hardware is likely only capable of displaying colours #9d9d9d9d9d9d
and #9e9e9e9e9e9e - urxvt picks the nearest colour to the one you specify
(#9e009e009e00).

gpick et al. probably just throw away the colour information (i.e.
they always cut away the extra bits instead of chosing the nearest
representable colour).

when in doubt, use xmag or another program that comes with x - these
programs tend to be less broken than g* or k* programs, and indeed display
the correct colour.
