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.

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