No, it is currently not possible to see the RGB values under the mouse cursor in the Preview or Contact Sheet.

On Windows you can use a simple utility called "EyeDropper" for this.  When running it sits in the system tray; you simply double click it to enable/disable it. When enabled it provides a small floating window that follows the cursor, showing a zoomed view of the area the cursor is pointing to and the color at the cursor. The latest version has a few other nice little features as well. I've been using it for years. It's a fantastic little app and it's freeware.

Depending on whether you're using Color Management or not, this may not be accurate.  If you're using Color Management in PM, then EyeDropper will be seeing post-managed color values and not the true values contained in the image.  If that's OK for you, then EyeDropper would be a good solution.

That's a good point; I forgot about that. Well, at least for web development, which is what I use it for, it comes in handy.
