How to get the background color code of an element in hex?
Check example link below and click on the div to get the color value in hex.
var color = '';
$('div').click(function() {
var x = $(this).css('backgroundColor');
hexc(x);
console.log(color);
})
function hexc(colorval) {
var parts = colorval.match(/^rgb\((\d+),\s*(\d+),\s*(\d+)\)$/);
delete(parts[0]);
for (var i = 1; i <= 3; ++i) {
parts[i] = parseInt(parts[i]).toString(16);
if (parts[i].length == 1) parts[i] = '0' + parts[i];
}
color = '#' + parts.join('');

There's a bit of a hack for this, since the HTML5 canvas is required to parse color values when certain properties like strokeStyle and fillStyle are set:
var ctx = document.createElement('canvas').getContext('2d');
ctx.strokeStyle = 'rgb(64, 128, 192)';
var hexColor = ctx.strokeStyle;
