Okay, this table seems to work for ASCII-extended characters. No garuntees, but looks like it checks out with the current colors. Built the table from this table https://theascii.com/extended-ascii-table/
var table1252 = {
"€":128,
"‚":130,
"ƒ":131,
"„":132,

I hope it's ok to revive this thread from april, but I'm working on something that needs exactly what you did here - to read the current set label colors. But I'm going a step further and add the names of the colors to the mix. I've added this function to the code above (mostly blatant copy paste):
function getLabelNamesFromPrefs() {
$.appEncoding = 'CP1252';
var sectionName2 = "Label Preference Text Section 5";
var prefFile2 = PREFType.PREF_Type_MACHINE_INDEPENDENT;
var keyName2;
var mypref2;
var resArray2 = [];
for(var i = 1; i <= 16; i++){
keyName2 = "Label Text ID 2 # " + i.toString();
mypref2 = app.preferences.getPrefAsString(sectionName2, keyName2, prefFile2);
resArray2.push(mypref2);
}
return resArray2;
}
alert(
getLabelsFromPrefs()[0] + " - "+getLabelNamesFromPrefs()[0]+"\n" +
getLabelsFromPrefs()[1] + " - "+getLabelNamesFromPrefs()[1]+"\n" +
getLabelsFromPrefs()[2] + " - "+getLabelNamesFromPrefs()[2]+"\n" +
getLabelsFromPrefs()[3] + " - "+getLabelNamesFromPrefs()[3]+"\n" +
getLabelsFromPrefs()[4] + " - "+getLabelNamesFromPrefs()[4]+"\n" +
getLabelsFromPrefs()[5] + " - "+getLabelNamesFromPrefs()[5]+"\n" +
getLabelsFromPrefs()[6] + " - "+getLabelNamesFromPrefs()[6]+"\n" +
getLabelsFromPrefs()[7] + " - "+getLabelNamesFromPrefs()[7]+"\n" +
getLabelsFromPrefs()[8] + " - "+getLabelNamesFromPrefs()[8]+"\n" +
getLabelsFromPrefs()[9] + " - "+getLabelNamesFromPrefs()[9]+"\n" +
getLabelsFromPrefs()[10] + " - "+getLabelNamesFromPrefs()[10]+"\n" +
getLabelsFromPrefs()[11] + " - "+getLabelNamesFromPrefs()[11]+"\n" +
getLabelsFromPrefs()[12] + " - "+getLabelNamesFromPrefs()[12]+"\n" +
getLabelsFromPrefs()[13] + " - "+getLabelNamesFromPrefs()[13]+"\n" +
getLabelsFromPrefs()[14] + " - "+getLabelNamesFromPrefs()[14]+"\n" +
getLabelsFromPrefs()[15] + " - "+getLabelNamesFromPrefs()[15]
);
The output is fine so far:
The HEX Values are also updated in the alert when custom values are entered in AE. Changes on HEX and Names are also reflected in the Prefs-indep-general file.
Sadly, the names stay the same in the alert. Any idea, what I'm doing wrong?
