Re: [orca-list] Finding the color of a cell in Libre Office Calc

[Paul Hunt <paul-leics virginmedia com>]

That would be an interesting little programming exercise.

I suppose one could examine each component of the triplet and have a set 
of rules that said, okay, if there's that much red and that much green 
and that much blue then it's that colour...

Better if Libre Office gave us something more human readable than RG 
values though!
