Help: Need Hexadecimal Color codes for various in-game elements

in General
I do a lot of art. In order to make a piece that looks like it fits into the Prime scanner, I need to search google for screenshots of the scanner to use the color pick tool on, which inevitably have been compressed. Does anyone know the hexadecimal codes for the colors of:
Portals
UI ELEMENTS
Level identification
The agent avatar (default state)
XM (Regular and dark)
This information would be very useful, both for me and for anyone else who wants to try their hand at designing something for the scanner.

I think you'll have to find someone who did some data mining in order to access those values. Didn't find anything in a quick search on github but there are probably people who did it. Although you might not like such practice as it's not really approved by Niantic (I think).
Screengrab then use the picker tool in Photoshop?
The problem with this is it’s tedious. Trying to either find screenshots online or transport my own from my phone ot my art tablet is a hassle that I’m sure could be avoided.
I think the Ingress Fandom has some info
I find that the Ingress Fandom wiki is lacking a lot of current info. There are several images of items that weren’t replaced with their new prime appearance, theres an entire section of the overview of the lore that’s just Incomprehensible, and a bunch of lore inserted from non-canon sources.
The Wiki is currently being rewritten and updated, but yeah, right now, it's a bit meh. You're always invited to update a few things here and there yourself ;)
I do enough editing on Wikipedia, I don't need another wiki!
Another issue with screen grabbing the game to get colors is that some of the buttons are slightly transparent. Color picking directly from the app would give an incorrect result due to this transparency.
But will save you the time wasted of fiding the correct tranparency level.😎
