Exporting correct Hex colors via scripting

Question

Hello all,
I need to export the fillColor of a paragraph style via scripting.
I can get the fillColor property of the paragraph style, and can also convert CMYK to Hex. However, I do realize that the color values shown in InDesign are in whatever Color Space the document is using.
My question is, is there a native API to convert the color values to a web safe color value? If not, how do I go about mapping the colors?
Additionally, I see that Adobe internally knows how to convert it to a proper hex color (screenshot attached - note the color property in the Export Tagging pane). If I cannot use some native API, is there a way to access the text in that pane?
Thanks all, in advance!

@DerKäse (btw. funny name) – there is an add() method for colors that will take a Object Color as argument.
Use that for your purpose.
Here an example for RGB:
var myDoc = app.documents[0];
var myColorName = "myNewRGBColor";
if(!myDoc.swatches.itemByName(myColorName).isValid){
    var myNewColor = myDoc.colors.add(
            name:myColorName,
            colorValue:[255,255,0], //A bright yellow
            model:ColorModel.PROCESS,
            space:ColorSpace.RGB
Here one for CMYK:
var myDoc = app.documents[0];
var myColorName = "myNewCMYKColor";
if(!myDoc.swatches.itemByName(myColorName).isValid){
    var myNewColor = myDoc.colors.add(
            name:myColorName,
            colorValue:[0,0,100,0], //A bright yellow
            model:ColorModel.PROCESS,
            space:ColorSpace.CMYK
Hope, that helps…
