Yes, that works for colors that are known to the system, not for
custom colors (like in imported documents)

Try this: Open the Styles and Formatting window (use the F11 key to do
this). Select the word or letter that has the color you need to know.
Right click the paragraph style that is highlighted in this window.
Select Modify in the context menu. Then click the Organizer tab. The
RGB values are listed in the "Contains" section.

Splendid!  But sadly I think this works only if the colour was
(sensibly) originally applied as a paragraph style, not if it was
applied, say, as local character formatting.

That work in such cases too, but you have to make a character style from the selected word, not a paragraph style. You will find the RGB-code in the organizer tab. And you can use this new style immediately to color other portions of the text without the need to define the color.

Kind regards

It appears that you can create a custom style that is either a character or paragraph style using the Styles and Formatting window and the "New Style from Selection" tool in it. If you select a word, the style will be a character style. If you select an entire paragraph, it will be a paragraph style. In either case, the RGB values appear in the Organizer tab for the style. So you have a choice as to which type of style you create depending upon your needs. And if you want to add this style to your Default template, there was a thread on copying styles from one document to another.
