I accidentally found a way to get color from color swatches.

But I do not think that this will help in this incomprehensible task.

Do not press Ctrl-key before and during the execution of the script.

var c1 = app.foregroundColor;
for (var i = 1;;i++)
    {
    var d = new ActionDescriptor();
    var r = new ActionReference();
    r.putIndex(stringIDToTypeID("colors"), i);
    d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);
    try { executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("select"), d, DialogModes.NO); } catch(e) { break; }
    var c = app.foregroundColor;
    app.foregroundColor = c1;
    alert("Swatch " + i+ "\n\n#" + c.rgb.hexValue);
    }
    
alert(i + " Done!")

I think everyone has understood what you want.

You got the relevant informations and all you have to do is join them together.

The task of this forum isn't to create finished scripts on request (that would be the function for a paid job).
