[JS][CS5] rounding decimals in swatch values

Hello again,

I recently made this script to round decimals in the swatch values if there were any. I'm pretty new to JS so this probably isn't the prettiest code so I was wondering if someone had a better way of doing it.  This works, but sometimes it takes a while and I'm pretty sure it is looking at the [paper], [black], and other swatches that can't be changed.  That is why I made it skip the errors during the script...

function round(color) {
    try { color.space = ColorSpace.cmyk;
    var vals = color.colorValue;
    for (var j = vals.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
        vals = Math.round(vals);
    } 
    color.colorValue = vals;
} catch (err) {}
}
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
        var target = app.documents[0];
    } else {
        var target = app;
    }
    
var myColors = target.colors.everyItem().getElements();
for (var j = myColors.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
    round(myColors);
}
alert("Swatches Rounded");

Any help is appreciated.

    Above script by aguisler86 fell victim to bad forum migration - square bracketed expressions were stripped.

    Apparently the initial problem about [paper] was never addressed.

     

    function round(color) {
    try { color.space = ColorSpace.cmyk;
    var vals = color.colorValue;
    for (var j = vals.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
        vals[j] = Math.round(vals[j]);
    } 
    color.colorValue = vals;
} catch (err) {}
}
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
        var target = app.documents[0];
    } else {
        var target = app;
    }

var myColors = target.colors.everyItem().getElements();
for (var j = myColors.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
    round(myColors[j]);
}

alert("Swatches Rounded");
