Get name of a property's color

[handell]

property textfield : missing value

on yesMam_(sender)
tell class “NSColor” of current application
set greenColor to its greenColor()
set redColor to its redColor()
end tell

textfield's setTextColor_(greenColor)

end yesMam_

instead of setting (setTextColor) the color, I want to find out what color it is?

thanks!!, i guess I was expecting to get the name “greenColor” as a string but I can still use this to do a comparison.

if textfield’s textColor() = redColor then …do something

from the initialization you can see that greenColor is an NSColor object and just a variable name (something like a token)
