Hi all,

How can we get the swatch name from its color value?

I looked into the photoshop scripting APIs but couldn't find anything related to swatches.

Thanks for any help..

Thanks for the reply,

.

Here is a swatch name 'RGB Green' with the color value rgb(0, 255, 0). Now what I want here is that, I have rgb() values and I want to get the name of the swatches that the document have corresponding to those rgb values.

Does it make sense?

Actually I have a selected object and I am getting its fill color and from that color value I want to get the swatch name if any.

Thanks..

As far as I can tell Photoshop Documents don’t have Swatches, the Application does.

But semantics aside I suspect the task might be a problematic one.

Have you looked around on ps-script.com yet?
