I am trying to read color of a shape in RGB however, it is coming in hex format...

for shape in slide_3.shapes: if shape.name[:9] == 'Rectangle': print(shape.fill.fore_color.rgb, shape.line.color.rgb)

72F91E 000000 72F91E 000000 72F91E 000000 72F91E 000000

The value shape.fill.fore_color.rgb is an RGBColor object.

RGBColor is a subtype of tuple and in particular a 3-tuple of int. What you're getting with print() is the str representation which is a triple of two-hex-digit R, G, and B values, commonly used for specifying colors in for instance HTML/CSS.

You can extract the red value with:

rgb = shape.fill.fore_color.rgb
red_value = rgb[0]

Maybe easier is to unpack the tuple like this:

red, green, blue = shape.fill.fore_color.rgb
print("red == %d, green == %d, blue = %d" % (red, green, blue))

or more simply:

print("red == %d, green == %d, blue = %d" % shape.fill.fore_color.rgb)
