Get Username Color

This code snippet gets the display colour of a member.

Code​

{{/*
	Gets the display colour for the current member.
	See <https://yagpdb-cc.github.io/code-snippets/get-username-color> for more information.

	Author: buthed010203 <https://github.com/buthed010203>
*/}}

{{$col := 16777215}}
{{$p := 0}}
{{$r := .Member.Roles}}
{{range .Guild.Roles}}
	{{- if and (in $r .ID) (.Color) (lt $p .Position)}}
		{{- $p = .Position}}
		{{- $col = .Color}}
	{{- end -}}
{{end}}

Usage​

First, copy the above snippet just above where you want to get the username color. Then, you can simply reference $col, which will be the decimal display color of the member.

For example, the following code uses it for an embed:

{{/* code snippet here */}}
{{sendMessage nil (cembed
	"title" (print "Hello " .User.Username "!")
	"color" $col
)}}

Getting the color for a member other than the context member​

Let's say you want to get the color of a member that isn't the member that triggered the command. All you would have to change is the following:

{{/* rest of code snippet */}}
{{$p := 0}}
- {{$r := .Member.Roles}}
+ {{$r := $member.Roles}}
{{range .Guild.Roles}}
{{/* rest of code snippet */}}

This would get the display color of $member, rather than the triggering member.
