Full Version: H22: Get UI Color with Python
Is it somehow possible to find out this theme's highlighted menu item color using Python?
Hello. Default houdini theme uses this highlight color
Hex: #fdba00
RGB (0-255): (253, 186, 0)
RGB (0-1):
This code will pull highlight color of whatever theme you are using. For v20 or older, in first line change PySide6 to PySide2.
Another thing, if you will use that color on a mesh it won't match how it looks in the UI because of ACES colorspace. Then you will need to disable OCIO by going to Color Correction > sRGB - Display > uncheck toggle "Enable OpenColorIO" to see true color. I attached a screenshot for reference.

from PySide6 import QtGui app = QtGui.QGuiApplication.instance() if app: color = app.palette().color(QtGui.QPalette.Highlight) print(f"Hex: {color.name()}") print(f"RGB (0-255): {color.getRgb()[:3]}") print(f"RGB (0-1): {[round(x / 255.0, 3) for x in color.getRgb()[:3]]}")
