Quality Colors

How do you output text to the chat window using item quality colors?

I know you can get item quality colors to use on a lable like this:

Lua Code:

_cControl:SetColor(GetInterfaceColor(INTERFACE_COLOR_TYPE_ITEM_QUALITY_COLORS, _tData.quality))

But GetInterfaceColor outputs a decimal. I tried googling some formula so I could just convert it, but I had no luck.
Is there another function or a way to convert that decimal it so I could do something like:

Lua Code:

local LegendaryColor = GetInterfaceColor(INTERFACE_COLOR_TYPE_ITEM_QUALITY_COLORS, ITEM_QUALITY_LEGENDARY)
d(LegendaryColor.."whatever message")

You can use ZO_ColorDef class:

Lua Code:

local color = ZO_ColorDef:FromInterfaceColor(INTERFACE_COLOR_TYPE_ITEM_QUALITY_COLORS, _tData.quality)
d(color:Colorize("whatever"))
-- or
d("|c" .. color:ToHex() .. "whatever|r")

or write the conversion out yourself:

Lua Code:

local r, g, b = GetInterfaceColor(INTERFACE_COLOR_TYPE_ITEM_QUALITY_COLORS, _tData.quality)
d(("|c%02x%02x%02x%s|r"):format(r*255, g*255, b*255, "whatever"))

Function GetItemQualityColor(index) returns ZO_ColorDef objects. When you have color, you can use its method :Colorize(text). Something like this:

Lua Code:

for i = ITEM_QUALITY_TRASH, ITEM_QUALITY_LEGENDARY do --for i = 0, 5 do
   local color = GetItemQualityColor(i)
   local qualName = GetString("SI_ITEMQUALITY", i)
   d(color:Colorize(qualName))
end
