Qcolor name pyside6 - PatM - Dec-13-2022

I have an error that works if I print but not if I try to use the value. I've tried everything I can think of but can't understand what is going wrong.

I get a color from a QColordialog then try to get the string from it. The print statement shows "#000000" but then I get a QColor not callable error on the " Prefs.fontColor(_color)" line. Any clues?

	def chooseColor(self):
		color = QColorDialog()
		color.setCurrentColor(Prefs.fontColor)
		color.exec()
		_color = color.currentColor()
		print(_color.name())
		_color = str(_color.name())
		Prefs.fontColor(_color)
#and the Prefs part is
	@property
	def fontColor(self):
		return QColor.fromString(self._dict["fontColor"])
	@fontColor.setter
	def fontColor(self,val):
		self._dict["fontColor"] = val

fontColor is a property. You do not use function calling syntax when getting or setting a property value
Instead of this:
Prefs.fontColor(_color)
Do this:
Prefs.fontColor = _color

Arg, I just couldn't figure it out, to fixated on the QColor error message and completely forgetting my years of windows properties Ugh!

Thanks!
