Page label color of "none"

[jenniferd93478144]

I found a handy javascript online for Indesign that changes the page label color to green – which is great. I often color code my pages with green or red labels to keep track of client selects and as a script I can map these commands to keyboard shortcuts. Does anyone know how to ammend the script to reset the color label to the default label color of none?:

app.activeWindow.activePage.pageColor = UIColors.GREEN;

I think you can set it = null;

You are right:

PageColorOptions.NOTHING

Works too I think

pageColor 

Array of 3 Reals (0 - 255)

PageColorOptions

PageColorOptions.NOTHING

PageColorOptions.USE_MASTER_COLOR 

UIColors

The color label of the Page, specified either as an array of three doubles, each in the range 0 to 255 and representing R, G, and B values, or as a UI color. Can return: Array of 3 Reals (0 - 255) or UIColors enumerator or PageColorOptions enumerator.

Hi @brian_p_dts , null is throwing an error for me—"Invalid value for set property 'pageColor'. Expected Array of 3 Reals (0 - 255) or UIColors enumerator or PageColorOptions enumerator, but received null.".

I think it needs to be:

app.activeWindow.activePage.pageColor = PageColorOptions.NOTHING

if ( app.activeWindow.activePage.pageColor == PageColorOptions.NOTHING ) app.activeWindow.activePage.pageColor = UIColors.GREEN;
else app.activeWindow.activePage.pageColor = PageColorOptions.NOTHING;

Funny: associate a keyboard shortcut [ctrl+<] played with the left hand, to this simplistic script:

if ( app.activeWindow.activePage.pageColor == PageColorOptions.NOTHING ) app.activeWindow.activePage.pageColor = UIColors.GREEN;
else if (app.activeWindow.activePage.pageColor == UIColors.GREEN ) app.activeWindow.activePage.pageColor = UIColors.RED;
else if (app.activeWindow.activePage.pageColor == UIColors.RED ) app.activeWindow.activePage.pageColor = PageColorOptions.NOTHING;

No Color >> Green Color >> Red Color >> No Color >> Green Color …

Hi @jenniferd93478144 ,

well, the default for page label color is:

PageColorOptions.USE_MASTER_COLOR
