How do I retrieve a textbox color value ?

I have a text box that I change the colorvalue runtime and I later need to retrieve this color value. Sprite have colorvalue in appearance but textboxes doesn't seem to have it.

How can I do that ?

You could have a variable with the colour value in it, change the variable at runtime, then set the text box colour based on the variable, that way you will always know what it was.

I'm afraid it looks like the only solution. Thanks for pointing it
