Hi Alberto,
you don't say which version of QXP you're using.
You say 'CMWY', but I think this should be 'CMYK', and you should get
the result {65535, 0, 0, 0}. This looks like a list but its class is
'CMYK color'. So, it must be coerced to a list and then converted to
the percentages you're familiar with:
---
tell document 1 of application "QuarkXPress 4.11"
set pList to {}
set cmykList to (CMYK color value of color spec "Cyan") as list
repeat with x in cmykList
set end of pList to my convToPercent(x)
end repeat
pList -->{100.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0}
--
--do your stuff
--
end tell
on convToPercent(x)
set x to (round ((x / 65.535) + 0.5) rounding down) / 10
return x
end convToPercent

Again, I have no problem for getting the properties. I don't have
to select any box:
---
tell application "QuarkXPress 4.11"
get properties of every color spec of document 1
end tell
---
This works. No problem at all.
Regards,
Hans
