Hi,

I need get stroke color of shape in photoshop, but I only find how to get fill color, any suggestion?

function getFillColor() {
   var ref = new ActionReference();
   ref.putEnumerated( stringIDToTypeID( "contentLayer" ), charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ), charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" ));
   var ref1= executeActionGet( ref );
   var list =  ref1.getList( charIDToTypeID( "Adjs" ) ) ;
   var solidColorLayer = list.getObjectValue(0);       
   var color = solidColorLayer.getObjectValue(charIDToTypeID('Clr '));
   var fillcolor = new SolidColor();
   fillcolor.rgb.red = color.getDouble(charIDToTypeID('Rd  '));
   fillcolor.rgb.green = color.getDouble(charIDToTypeID('Grn '));
   fillcolor.rgb.blue = color.getDouble(charIDToTypeID('Bl  '));
   return fillcolor;
}

Thank you

Does this work in Photoshop CC? (edited)

// 2014, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putEnumerated( stringIDToTypeID("contentLayer"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
var layerDesc = executeActionGet(ref);
var strokeSt = layerDesc.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("AGMStrokeStyleInfo"));
var strokeStyleColor = strokeSt.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleContent")).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("color"));
alert (strokeStyleColor.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("red"))+"\n"+strokeStyleColor.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("grain"))+"\n"+strokeStyleColor.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("blue")));
};

    Sorry for reviving this old post but...

    I've been trying to get a shape's stroke color for a whole week now, with no success. Tried the ScriptingListener, didn't find anything useful (or it did for SETTING the color, not for GETTING it). The missing link was that "AGMStrokeStyleInfo" ID... how did you find it, if I may ask?

    I THANK YOU DEEPLY, SIR!

    Really you can't imagine just how much of a godsend this is for me right now! Haha!

    Cheers,

    Tudor.

    PS: I've tried the code on CC 2015 and works.

    I pretty much use code based on code by Mike Hale (though it may include contributions from Paul or xbytor and/or others) to get the parameters of Application/Document/Layer etc. as needed.

    // based on code by michael l hale;
    

    // 2015, use it at your own risk;
    

    //#target photoshop
    

    #target "photoshop-70.032"
    

    if (app.documents.length > 0) {
    

    var ref = new ActionReference();
    

    // the layer;
    

    ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Lyr "), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
    

    // the application;
    

    //ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("capp"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
    

    // the document;
    

    //ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
    

    var layerDesc = executeActionGet(ref);
    

    checkDesc2 (layerDesc);
    

    };
    

    //////
    

    ////// based on code by michael l hale //////
    

    function checkDesc2 (theDesc) {
    

    var c = theDesc.count;
    

    var str = '';
    

    for(var i=0;i<c;i++){ //enumerate descriptor's keys
    

      str = str + 'Key '+i+' = '+typeIDToStringID(theDesc.getKey(i))+': '+theDesc.getType(theDesc.getKey(i))+'\n'+getValues (theDesc, i)+'\n';
    

      };
    

    alert("desc\n\n"+str);
    

    };
    

    ////// check //////
    

    function getValues (theDesc, theNumber) {
    

    switch (theDesc.getType(theDesc.getKey(theNumber))) {
    

    case DescValueType.BOOLEANTYPE:
    

    return theDesc.getBoolean(theDesc.getKey(theNumber));
    

    break;
    

    case DescValueType.CLASSTYPE:
    

    return theDesc.getClass(theDesc.getKey(theNumber));
    

    break;
    

    case DescValueType.DOUBLETYPE:
    

    return theDesc.getDouble(theDesc.getKey(theNumber));
    

    break;
    

    case DescValueType.ENUMERATEDTYPE:
    

    return (typeIDToStringID(theDesc.getEnumerationValue(theDesc.getKey(theNumber)))+"_"+typeIDToStringID(theDesc.getEnumerationType(theDesc.getKey(theNumber))));
    

    break;
    

    case DescValueType.INTEGERTYPE:
    

    return theDesc.getInteger(theDesc.getKey(theNumber));
    

    break;
    

    case DescValueType.LISTTYPE:
    

    return theDesc.getList(theDesc.getKey(theNumber));
    

    break;
    

    case DescValueType.OBJECTTYPE:
    

    return (theDesc.getObjectValue(theDesc.getKey(theNumber))+"_"+typeIDToStringID(theDesc.getObjectType(theDesc.getKey(theNumber))));
    

    break;
    

    case DescValueType.REFERENCETYPE:
    

    return theDesc.getReference(theDesc.getKey(theNumber));
    

    break;
    

    case DescValueType.STRINGTYPE:
    

    return theDesc.getString(theDesc.getKey(theNumber));
    

    break;
    

    case DescValueType.UNITDOUBLE:
    

    return (theDesc.getUnitDoubleValue(theDesc.getKey(theNumber))+"_"+typeIDToStringID(theDesc.getUnitDoubleType(theDesc.getKey(theNumber))));
    

    break;
    

    default:
    

    break;
    

    };
    

    };

    For a Shape Layer with a Stroke this would get me

    Key 0 = name: DescValueType.STRINGTYPE

    Color Fill 1

    Key 1 = color: DescValueType.ENUMERATEDTYPE

    none_color

    Key 2 = visible: DescValueType.BOOLEANTYPE

    Key 13 = layerLocking: DescValueType.OBJECTTYPE

    [ActionDescriptor]_layerLocking

    Key 14 = group: DescValueType.BOOLEANTYPE

    false

    Key 15 = targetChannels: DescValueType.LISTTYPE

    [ActionList]

    Key 16 = visibleChannels: DescValueType.LISTTYPE

    [ActionList]

    Key 17 = channelRestrictions: DescValueType.LISTTYPE

    [ActionList]

    Key 18 = fillOpacity: DescValueType.INTEGERTYPE

    255

    Key 19 = hasUserMask: DescValueType.BOOLEANTYPE

    Key 20 = hasVectorMask: DescValueType.BOOLEANTYPE

    true

    Key 21 = layerKind: DescValueType.INTEGERTYPE

    4

    Key 22 = hasFilterMask: DescValueType.BOOLEANTYPE

    false

    Key 23 = userMaskDensity: DescValueType.INTEGERTYPE

    255

    Key 24 = userMaskFeather: DescValueType.DOUBLETYPE

    0

    Key 25 = vectorMaskDensity: DescValueType.INTEGERTYPE

    255

    Key 26 = vectorMaskFeather: DescValueType.DOUBLETYPE

    0

    Key 27 = adjustment: DescValueType.LISTTYPE

    [ActionList]

    Key 28 = bounds: DescValueType.OBJECTTYPE

    [ActionDescriptor]_rectangle

    Key 29 = boundsNoEffects: DescValueType.OBJECTTYPE

    [ActionDescriptor]_rectangle

    Key 30 = useAlignedRendering: DescValueType.BOOLEANTYPE

    false

    Key 31 = generatorSettings: DescValueType.OBJECTTYPE

    [ActionDescriptor]_generatorSettings

    Key 32 = AGMStrokeStyleInfo: DescValueType.OBJECTTYPE

    [ActionDescriptor]_strokeStyle

    Then 

    checkDesc2 (layerDesc.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("AGMStrokeStyleInfo")));

    can be used to check out the details for AGMStrokeStyleInfo.
