Not as far as I know. Unless you can find the colour element in the HTMLā€¦

Itā€™s worth mentioning that using Image activities you might be able to compare the image and thus react on it.

Also, if the element has a color property, you might be able to use Get Attribute.

Using selector, how can I get the color attribute by HTML? Is there any possibility ? Can anyone attach an sample workflow of identifying colors in web automation Plā€¦

Thanks

Hello,

I want my flow to detect color of a box and if color match with required color then it should return the text or name of the box.

Anyone please help me on this topic.

For example:

Like if color is red then flow should return its name ā€˜GLD_APU2ā€™.

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Hi all,

In the project Iā€™m working on, weā€™ve had the same problem. It was a bit more complicated because we were dealing with a Java applet and had no CSS selectors. Still, we were not able to get the ā€œBackground Colorā€ property from the element.

We solved the problem by using the ColorDetector extension altogether with the ā€œGet Positionā€ Activity. It takes the absolute X and Y coordinates on the screen (which is returned by the previous activity) and returns the a string with the color name. The screen needs to be maximized, though :slight_smile:
