Thanks for pointing out this script. I've made 100s of brand guidelines, I wish I had this ;) I would suggest preparing swatches for each colour space (rgb and hex in a rgb document), and then running your script. When I deliver brand assets, colour swatch files are always delivered to the client, one for print, one for digital. And these are used to execute all of the logos and other assets. To get your text into neat blocks, just select the relevant text objects (a pantone, a cmyk, an rgb), copy, then paste back into your original text block, add carriage returns, and you're done, no need to go through all of that alignment and distribution of individual lines ;)
That's very cool. I work in Illustrator and that would be useful. However, I've recently gotten away from just using the raw percentages to spec CMYK. Instead, it may be better to pull those from the Pantone "Color Bridge" Book. It's in the library and it's essentially the same as using a SPOT number. For instance, PMS 339c which is a PANTONE SPOT but when used as cmyk then it would be selected from the bridge book. cp = coated process. That swatch would be 339cp. There will still be cmyk percentages but I like having the number that represents it. Hope that made sense. Thank you for sharing and putting all the information together. I like that.
I'm thinking the script might not be updated for the current version of Illustrator. But that aside, how many colors are in your artwork? Are they all selected when you do this? Are they added to your Swatch panel already?

Thank you!!
when i go to create a colour group it says 'colour list' currently not available?? what do i do
I'm thinking the script might not be updated for the current version of Illustrator. But that aside, how many colors are in your artwork? Are they all selected when you do this? Are they added to your Swatch panel already?
@@GDHTI'm having same issue. I selected all the colours
