How to get font color of cell in Google Sheets?

Question

Is it possible to get the font color of a cell in Google Sheets?

I have found a script for getting the colour of the background using getBackground(). However, I can't find anything for text colour.

Answer 1

Yes there is a function called getFontColor().

Check the google documentation for more spreadsheet related references.

Answer 2

get this addon: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/c

and then you can use easy IF logic to get the color name:

=IF(COUNTFONTCOLOR("A1", "A1")=1, "red")
