Saving text color out to file

[WHICKED]

Hello all,

My question pertains to saving text color out to a names color such as Yello, Black, White, etc.

Right now when I cast the object to IText I can get the Text color using obj.TextColor.ToString(), but it comes out as a RGB value, is there a way to pass that and get a named color.

Figured it out. Use FromRGB

Color color = Color.FromArgb(x, y, z);

Hello WHICKED,

Thank you for the post.

You could use the KnownColors enum to check by RGB if a color is a KnownColor, if so you can get the name of the KnownColor.

Color colorToCheck = Color.Red;

foreach (KnownColor kc in Enum.GetValues(typeof(KnownColor)))
{
			
	Color known = Color.FromKnownColor(kc);
				
	if (colorToCheck.ToArgb() == known.ToArgb())
	{
		Print(known.Name);
	}
}

I look forward to being of further assistance.
