How to get the background color of a button or label (QPushButton, QLabel) in PyQt

Question

I am quite new to PyQt. Does anyone tell me how to get the background color of a button or label (QPushButton, QLabel) in PyQt.

Answer 1

Here is a sample code. This will help you.

QPushButton button1, button2;
button1.setStyleSheet("background-color:#ff0000;");

//To get Background color
QColor color = button1.palette().button().color();

//To set fetched color
button2.setStyleSheet("background-color:" + color.name() +";");

Answer 2

I haven't used PyQt, but I think API should be very similar to C++. To get background color of QWidget-based class, first get its palette and then call QPalette::color() with QPalette::Window role.

Answer 3

This worked for me

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLabel, QWidget
import sys

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = QWidget()
window.show()

myLabel = QLabel()
colorOfmyLabel = myLabel.palette().window().color().name()
print(colorOfmyLabel)

sys.exit(app.exec_())

the output:

#f0f0f0
