You can use Tkinter's colorchooser to prompt the user to enter a color, then set it to the fill color of a line. Here's an example:

from tkinter import *

def chooseColor(event):
    global color #set color to global so it updates in other function
    color = colorchooser.askcolor()

def paint(event):
    #create a line while in this event. use color[1] to get the second element in the color tuple
    canvas.create_line(event.x,event.y,event.x+1,event.y+1, fill=color[1])

tk = Tk()

canvas = Canvas(tk, width=500, height=500)
canvas.pack()

color = tkColorChooser.askcolor() #get initial color, as a tuple

canvas.bind_all("<Button-3>", chooseColor)
canvas.bind_all("<B1-Motion>", paint)

tk.mainloop()
