Retrieving chat message color code

I would like to download from the system the color code of messages in the chat window, e.g. the color of WHISPER or YELL messages. I think in the function GetCVar() it can do it, just I don't know the right parameter. Can anyone help?

Yes, it is helpful. Thank you.

How about determining the color of the player's link?

Code:

colorChatNamesByClass

is the CVar controlling class colors on player names.

The actual color information you can get for any player unit where you can get to their baseClass
through

Code:

_, baseClass = GetPlayerInfoByGUID(guid)

Code:

_, baseClass = UnitClass(unit)

then

Code:

local classColorTable = RAID_CLASS_COLORS[baseClass]

So when you have a valid UnitId or GUID you can get their class information and from that the color information.
