You're not going to be able to do this directly in scripting -- the InDesign scripting Document Object Model doesn't give access to the graphic content of a placed image. You could export the image to a file and use some other tool to make examine the colors. And EPS files are kind of complicated -- just what do you mean by the color value? The average value of the whole bounding box? Some particular point?


It really depends on the EPS type (Photoshop, Illustrator Corel ? Raster, vector ?).

If you have raster EPS, you may have access to the space of the image :

app.selection[0].space //RVB,Grayscale,whatever

But it works only with photoshop EPSs.
