Is it possible to script a caption to write the cmyk values of a box?

Or does something like that exsist?

Woaw - excellent - as I have a lot of colors to label on a sheet, I think I’ll take a few, copy out - run the script and copy back.
My laptop seemed a bit stressed. But saves a lot of work.

Thanks a lot :-)

Sometimes running AppleScripts from ScriptEditor is faster.
