Peter, Jaws in my experience does report the majority of colours
incorrectly, but I've found that doesn't stop it from dealing with them. So,
if you use HSC to get the actual colour and use those values in the Jaws
script, then I would hope they will be seen correctly...well that's what's
been the case here for me. So, it's irrelevant what jaws actually sees with
insert 5, as long as the correct colours are in the script, things should
work. I'm guessing some of these colours are not black/grey, even though
Jaws is reporting these colours. Steve.

Subject: [jawsscripts] JAWS and recognizing foreground and background colors
I have an application for which I am writing scripts - Band-in-a-Box.
This program shows a text chord name as black with a gray background.
JAWS is recognizing most of the chords properly as black on gray.
The problem is that JAWS also sees some of the highlighted chords as black
on black or black on light gray, although to a sighted user these chords all
appear the same - i.e., black on gray.
Thus JAWS seems to be getting something wrong here when compared with what a
sighted user sees.
I don't know if this is a JAWS bug or what else might be going on. I'm
wondering if anyone has any suggestions to have JAWS see these chords and
background color reliably so that my scripts can speak them to the user.
Has anyone seen issues with JAWS not recognizing foreground and background
colors properly?
Thanks.
