Get layer colour property

[Ghoul Fool]

In Photoshop, I can change a layer color (in the layers window) to violet with:

var idsetd = charIDToTypeID( "setd" );
var desc5146 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
var ref1552 = new ActionReference();
var idLyr = charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " );
var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );
var idTrgt = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );
ref1552.putEnumerated( idLyr, idOrdn, idTrgt );
desc5146.putReference( idnull, ref1552 );
var idT = charIDToTypeID( "T   " );
var desc5147 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idClr = charIDToTypeID( "Clr " );
var idClr = charIDToTypeID( "Clr " );
var idVlt = charIDToTypeID( "Vlt " );
desc5147.putEnumerated( idClr, idClr, idVlt );
var idLyr = charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " );
desc5146.putObject( idT, idLyr, desc5147 );
executeAction( idsetd, desc5146, DialogModes.NO );

Is there a way to detect such a layer has been changed from "no color" to red or orange? Get, rather than set? There doesn't seem to be an art layer property for this.
