This example creates a player list on the right of the screen and fills it with players online and sets the grid list item color according to their nametag color. When the player clicks on a grid list item, it'll output the color of it.

function createPlayerList ( )
  --Create the grid list element
  local playerList = guiCreateGridList ( 0.80, 0.10, 0.15, 0.60, true )
  --Create a players column in the list
  addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", playerList, onGridListClick, false )
  local column = guiGridListAddColumn( playerList, "Player", 0.85 )
  if ( column ) then --If the column has been created, fill it with players
    for id, player in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "player" ) ) do
      local row = guiGridListAddRow ( playerList )
      local r, g, b = getPlayerNametagColor ( player ) -- We get the player nametag color.
      guiGridListSetItemText ( playerList, row, column, getPlayerName ( player ), false, false )
      guiGridListSetItemColor ( playerList, row, column, r, g, b ) -- We set the grid list item color to the returned values of getPlayerNametagColor.
    end
  end
end
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, createPlayerList )


function onGridListClick ( )
  local row, col = guiGridListGetSelectedItem(source)
  if ( row and col and row ~= -1 and col ~= -1 ) then
    local r, g, b, a = guiGridListGetItemColor ( source, row, col )
    outputChatBox ( "Red: ".. r, 255, 0, 0 )
    outputChatBox ( "Green: ".. g, 0, 255, 0 )
    outputChatBox ( "Blue: ".. b, 0, 0, 255 )
