Track color conversion table

    Hello,

    Thought I'd share this as it was annoying to set up. I noticed when getting the track color from protools it comes back as hex color syntax, but when selecting or defining a color it's done in rows/columns with corresponding light/med/dark and numbers. This table acts as a conversion table. My use case (forgive the janky code I whipped up in a hurry) was I wanted to select all my track folders and create them the same color as the tracks/first track within the folder.

    Hope it helps someone

    const colorConversionTable = [
    // Light Colors
    { color: "#ff2c00fc", colorNumber: 1, colorBrightness: "Light", colorType: "Color" },
    { color: "#ff5600fc", colorNumber: 2, colorBrightness: "Light", colorType: "Color" },
    { color: "#ff8800fc", colorNumber: 3, colorBrightness: "Light", colorType: "Color" },
    { color: "#ffbf00fc", colorNumber: 4, colorBrightness: "Light", colorType: "Color" },
