Aperature does have the eye dropper and it works.

I was thinking that Poloman was meaning to actually go in and manipulate the numbers somehow to turn the color into a neutral color.

when I am correcting WB in PP, and I put the dropper on what I "think" is a neutral color what RBG numbers am I looking for? what are the "numbers" of a neutral color

Something is wrong with the concept. You don't look at the numbers before picking WB. If you look for "grey", then you accept the present setting.

The point of picking WB is to select something, which is supposed to be grey, no matter what color it has at that point of time. Afterwards the R, G and B should be equal or close.
