You aren't missing anything. At this time we do not detect or output the color of the text. I've already made this feature request and I know what I'm looking for but I'm curious to hear what you are looking for. Do you want the color of the text drawn by the text operator or did you want the perceived color of the text on the page? For example, if you have some black text drawn on the page but later in the PDF display list, it's covered by a 50% transparent white box. Do you want the color to be reported as black or as gray?

Good to know that a feature request is already in place.

PDFs are an interesting file format 🙂. Given that the requirement is to be able to republish the content, having access to the perceived color would help.
