     Obviously, you tried my idea, and found it does not work very well.
     So, lets try it another way. Use LibreOffice to save the text 
document as a HTML document. Then open the html document with a text 
editor. There you should find the font color property contains the color 
in hex format. You then have to convert this to RGB before you can 
create a new color in Tools > LibreOffice > Colors.
