Contacts colors

[exquo]

Is there a way to get the value of a contact's profile color parameter?

Color is one of the contacts' (and groups') profile entries, and it is present in the tables in signal-cli's account.db file. But the listContacts and listGroups commands (which print out profiles information) do not include color in the output. Likewise, there does not seem to exist a DBus interface call that would return a contact's color.

It's not possible currently, but shouldn't be hard to add, at least for cli/json output.
For DBus a lot more contact information is also missing. I had planned to export those as separate object, similar to the groups, but haven't had time for that yet.

Thank you for adding this!

However, all of my contacts show Color: null..

In signal-desktop/mobile, every contact's "avatar circle" (for contacts without an avatar picture) has a different color. I guess that's what a "contact's color" means? In Chat settings there is also a "Chat color" option, but that's the color of their message boxes in their chats.
