this should helpvar thisFrame = app.activeDocument.textFrames[0]var thisFrame_FrameFill = thisFrame.textPath.fillColor // returns color object of the text path of the area framevar thisFrame_TextFill = thisFrame.textRange.characterAttributes.fillColor //returns color object of text fill color. if multiple in box. should technically just be the firstvar thisFrame_CharacterFill = thisFrame.textRange.characters[3].characterAttributes.fillColor //returns color object of specified character. would have to verify each character if multiple? not sure if easier wayvar thisFrame_OverprintFill = thisFrame.textRange.characters[3].characterAttributes.overprintFill //returns true/false if color is overprint//var thisFrame_OverprintFill = thisFrame.textRange.characterAttributes.overprintFill //returns true/false if color is set to overprint. set all or specific characters either going textRange.Attributes or textRange.Characters[#].Attributes
