Extract Colour Codes Quickly

Hi @Sophie Hooper , Also, for branding color you have to consider the affect of color profiles on RGB and CMYK color—the appearance of any RGB or CMYK value will change depending on the profile assignment. Using a device independant color space like Lab (Pantone Solid ink colors) as the source color for the brand is the best approach—this post might help:

If you are using a Mac this AppleScript will put a tab-delimited list, derived from the active InDesign document, onto your clipboard. It ignores the first four built-in InDesign swatches.

If you are on a PC I'm sure someone could do the same in JavaScript.

use AppleScript version "2.4" -- Yosemite (10.10) or later
use scripting additions

set TextOut to ""
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {", "}
tell application id "com.adobe.InDesign"
	tell document 1
		set ES to (every swatch)
		repeat with s from 5 to count of items of ES
			tell item s of ES
				set SN to name
				set SM to model
				set SS to space
				set SV to color value
				set TextOut to TextOut & return & SN & "		" & SM & "		" & SS & "	{" & SV & "}"
			end tell
		end repeat
	end tell
end tell

set the clipboard to TextOut
