A Hexadecimal color code looks like #ff7f00. This means:
- red: ff hexadecimal = 255 decimal
- green: 7f hexadecimal = 127 decimal
- blue: 00 hexadecimal = 0 decimal
And that will generate a orange color with hex value ff7f00.
One can think of several very difficult methods to generate 3 numbers between 0 and 255, then concatenating their hexadecimal values. But there's a much easier way.
Since the string is formatted as a 6 character string, the value of which is between 000000 and ffffff (hex), you could just pick any random value between 0 and 16777215 (=hex ffffff) and convert that to a hex string.
Both of these lines will generate a random Hex Color Code:
'#' + Math.floor(Math.random()*0xffffff).toString(16);
'#' + Math.floor(Math.random()*16777215).toString(16);Simple huh?
