I need to get the array of double values eg: (124,255,255) for the tag color applied on XML tag.

Note that I need values for RGB color space only.

var color = oXMLTag.tagColor;

The above returned color is enumeration is most of the cases (RED,CYAN etc).

How can I get the double values for this color also the color ID.

I measured each of the colours and hardcoded them in. See the getUIcolorValue function.

Ok. I should have rephrased my question:

How did you measure the UI Colors ?

I see two ways:

1. Using the colors with guides and export to PDF including guides.

2. Using the colors with conditional text and export to PDF.

Measuring can be done with Acrobat Pro or a rendered pixel image from the PDF with PhotoShop.

Depending on our color management settings we could get RGB values in e.g. sRGB.

I measured RGB values with Digital Colour Meter using Display native values. See screenshot attached. What are you worried about?
