Hi,

Using something like...
(colour '(1 2 3))
...
(gimp-message (string-append "colour " (number->string (car colour))))
returns 1
Which is good.

Using something like...

(colourR '(0 0 0))

(set! colourR (gimp-image-pick-color newImg activeLayer 128 8.0 FALSE FALSE 1))
(gimp-message (string-append "colour " (number->string (car colourR))))

gives an error.
Error: atom->string: bad base: 10

Running in the console
(gimp-image-pick-color newImg activeLayer 128 8.0 FALSE FALSE 1)
Returns
((210 210 210))

So my question is how do I access the data in the color returned from the color pick function?

Thanks for any help, I've been stuck on this for hours.

Hi,
got there.
"Even if the return value is itself a list, like for example the color returned by gimp-color-picker, the return value will always be encapsulated in an extra list."
