Compose UI testing - How do I assert a text color?

I'm trying to test a Text that on my component I can print it in different colors, so on my test I'm verifying it gets the expected color. I was looking for a method to return the color but I did not find any.

From now I'm asserting that the text is correct and the visibility is correct, but when trying to find the method to get the colour I get too deep and I'm looking for a simpler solution.

composeTestRule.onNode(hasTestTag("testTagForButton"), true)
            .assertExists()
            .assertTextEquals("Testing")

I've check that I can do something like .fetchSemanticsNode().layoutInfo.getModifierInfo() to get into the Modifier and perhaps from there I can get the colour, but it's too much maybe. Also I've found this .captureToImage() that perhaps I could get the colour on it, but since I had to put the pixels I decided that it's not the way.

Is there any simple way to get that?

I am by no means a compose expert, but just looking at compose source code, you could utilize their GetTextLayoutResult accessibility semantic action. This will contain all the properties that are used to render the Text on a canvas.

Some quick and dirty extension functions I put up for convenience:

fun SemanticsNodeInteraction.assertTextColor(
    color: Color
): SemanticsNodeInteraction = assert(isOfColor(color))

private fun isOfColor(color: Color): SemanticsMatcher = SemanticsMatcher(
    "${SemanticsProperties.Text.name} is of color '$color'"
) {
    val textLayoutResults = mutableListOf<TextLayoutResult>()
    it.config.getOrNull(SemanticsActions.GetTextLayoutResult)
        ?.action
        ?.invoke(textLayoutResults)
    return@SemanticsMatcher if (textLayoutResults.isEmpty()) {
        false
    } else {
        textLayoutResults.first().layoutInput.style.color == color
    }
}

Which can be then used like this:

composeTestRule.onNode(hasTestTag("testTagForButton"), true)
            .assertExists()
            .assertTextEquals("Testing")
            .assertTextColor(Color.Black)
