How to get colour palette of chart in excel add-in using office JS?

We are developing an excel add-in with react and office js APIs. We have added a chart and set the color to the chart from the color palette(chart-design -> Change Colours -> Colourful palette4).

Please refer the below screenshot ->

We wanted to get the color palette name or colors set to the chart. We checked through the office js documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/excel/excel.chart?view=excel-js-preview, We can get Style for the chart but we are not able to find anything related to getting a color palette.

Can anyone please help us to understand how to get a color palette using office js APIs?

You can use colorScheme API under ChartAreaFormat, here is a sample code to get the color scheme

  await Excel.run(async (context) => {
    const sheet = context.workbook.worksheets.getItem("Sample");
    const chart = sheet.charts.getItemAt(0);
    chart.load("format/colorScheme");
    await context.sync();
    console.log(chart.format.colorScheme);

  });
