I haven't used the drawing tools, but it may not be possible:

I am sure there is a simple answer but I do not fully understand what you are trying to do. If you can ask your question differently, maybe I or someone else might be able to help.

Are you looking at some Acsil code or a line drawn by a study? Not sure.

You can loop through all the Horizontal Lines that are on the chart and assign their values to a variable.

s_UseTool HorLine;
int i = 0;
While(sc.GetChartDrawing(0, DRAWING_HORIZONTALLINE, HorLine, i)){
int HorLineColor = HorLine.Color;
i++;
}
This example assigns the RGB color of each Horizontal Line on the chart to the integer HorLineColor .
At the end of the loop HorLineColor will hold the color value of the Horizolntal Line that was ldrawn last.
Not sure about the specifics of converting RGB (###,###,###) to an integer.

The code I gave you above (#7) does exactly that. But I just notices that the sc.GetChartDrawing() function was replaced with sc.GetUserDrawnChartDrawing()
Of course you will have to embed those lines into a full SC study code. Do you know how to do that?
Do you need the colors of the lines for programming purposes or you just want to know the colors ?

Here is an example of a full code for a study that will write to the Message Log the color of every new Horizontal line that is manually added to the chart.

#include <windows.h>
#include "sierrachart.h"
//#include "..\..\ACS_Source\sierrachart.h"

SCDLLName("GetToolColor")

SCSFExport scsf_GetToolColor(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc)
{


if (sc.SetDefaults)
{
sc.GraphName = "GetToolColor";

sc.FreeDLL = 1;

sc.AutoLoop = 0; //Automatic looping is enabled.

return;
}

int& Previousi = sc.GetPersistentInt(1);
s_UseTool HorLine;
int i = 0;
while(sc.GetUserDrawnChartDrawing(0, DRAWING_HORIZONTALLINE, HorLine, i)){
unsigned int HorLineColor = HorLine.Color;
i++;
if(Previousi < i){
SCString str;
str.Format("HorLineColor = %i",HorLineColor);
sc.AddMessageToLog(str, 0);
}
}
Previousi = i;
}
