I have a new challenge, The emails were changed and this is not working anymore:
Regex expression: Type\sof\sContract\s:\s(.*)
Text:
Type of Contract : Permanent
And I get the match and the group1 information "Permanent"
Now the text, it comes like this:
Type of Contract : Permanent{color}{color:#000000}
And I get the match and the group1 information "Permanent{color}{color:#000000}"
How can I get again only "Permanent" In group1 ?

You can try:
Type\sof\sContract\s:\s([^{\r\n] )
This will get the string after Type\sof\sContract\s:\s until { or newline is found.

Demo, using Perl and a capture as requested:
perl -pe 's/Type\s of\s Contract\s :\s (.*?)(?=\{).*/$1/' file
Output
Permanent
The regular expression matches as follows:
| Node | Explanation |
|---|---|

'Type' |
\s |
whitespace (\n, \r, \t, \f, and " ") (1 or more times (matching the most amount possible)) |
of |
'of' |
\s |
whitespace (\n, \r, \t, \f, and " ") (1 or more times (matching the most amount possible)) |
Contract |
'Contract' |
\s |
whitespace (\n, \r, \t, \f, and " ") (1 or more times (matching the most amount possible)) |
: |
: |
\s |
whitespace (\n, \r, \t, \f, and " ") (1 or more times (matching the most amount possible)) |
( |
group and capture to \1: |
.*? |
any character except \n (0 or more times (matching the least amount possible)) |
) |
end of \1 |
(?= |
look ahead to see if there is: |
\{ |
{ |
) |
end of look-ahead |
.* |
any character except \n (0 or more times (matching the most amount possible)) |
