How we match two pathItems have same fillColor using Extendscript?

[durai0607]

Hi All,

I have two path items in a document and the CMYK color filled.

Now I need to match programmatically using if condition, that path item having with CMYK (c:100, m=0, y=100, k=0) values.

Kindly help me to achieve this using extendscript.

Thanks.

This is a slow process if you have hundreds of paths, but essentially you can grab a fill color from a path with clr_1 = pathItem.fillColor and then compare clr_1.cyan != clr_2.cyan.
However there can be javascript mathematical rounding artifacts which may put a decimal and a bunch of numbers afterwards - for this reason if it becomes an issue, you can use Math.round(clr_1.cyan) != Math.round(clr_2.cyan) and so on. When you compare all the 4 cmyk colors and all are true, you have the same color!
