Thanks everyone. It seems "is a color" is broken. I did see the dictionary entry about accepting a single integer as a color but this goes beyond that.
I think I'll enter a bug report about it. By way of context, I'm trying to identify what type of data is in custom properties as part of a project I'm working on. For that purpose, looks like I will test for all the other "is a" options first, then write my own code to check for a color. In order to do that, I need to be sure I'm aware of all valid color values. As mentioned in my original post, I thought they were either three numbers each between 0-255, a hex value, or a color name, but it sounds like it's possible to have a 4th integer as an alpha channel? IS that correct? Thanks, Pete lcSQL Software <http://www.lcsql.com> On Fri, Jun 7, 2013 at 10:54 PM, J.
