Find text using text color (not background color)

Is there any property to use with Click or Find kind of commands to find out if a particular text is of some color?
I need to find if a link or button is disabled or not, and take actions further. Both the active and disabled links will have same background color but different foreground color. Not sure if the contrast and contrast-color would help here. Appreciate any help.

Hi, I would use contrast colour for this. Pick out the disabled text colour and the enabled text colour and add a search rectangle around the button.

You can add if statements around these too depending on the logic you desire.

// Expecting button to be disabled

set buttonText to ReadText([840,176,1130,214], contrast:"On", contrastColor:"#FFFFFF", contrastTolerance:"45")

Log buttonText

// Expecting button to be enabled
set buttonText to ReadText([840,176,1130,214], contrast:"On", contrastColor:"#FC2B28", contrastTolerance:"45")

Log buttonText

Hello - I have already tried with this but no luck. It is finding the text irrespective of color that I am passing or no idea only if it is considering background color for contrast.

Also, tried to check the color using ColorAtLocation, and it gives same color for both enabled text and disabled text locations.

Attached the image for ref.

You can capture two images for a link or button disabled and enabled.
