Hi All,

I am trying to get the fill color values of shape or solid color fill layers.

I get the kind of active layer i.e. SOLIDFILL, but there is no color like property to get the color for shape or solid color fill layers.

Is there any way or script to do that?

Please help me on this.

Thanks,

I have not bothered with checking the type of the active layer, but if one Solid Color Layer is selected this should help.

// based on code by michael l hale;
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Lyr "), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") ); 
var layerDesc = executeActionGet(ref);
var adjList = layerDesc.getList(stringIDToTypeID('adjustment'));
var theColors = adjList.getObjectValue(0).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID('color'));
var str = '';
for(var i=0;i<theColors.count;i++){ //enumerate descriptor's keys
       str = str + 'Key '+i+' = '+typeIDToStringID(theColors.getKey(i))+': '+theColors.getUnitDoubleValue(theColors.getKey(i))+'\n';
}
alert(str);
