Javascript: Convert RGB Color to HTML Hex

HTML needs the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values of color converted to Hex. Hex is basically just a compact way for a computer to store 16 different values in 1 character. When you use color on Web pages, you often have to take a color code that was generated in one program and convert it into the corresponding Hex value for a Web page. The small javascript function below demonstrates how to convert RGB values to hex string.

function RGB2HTML(red, green, blue)
{
    var decColor = red + 256 * green + 65536 * blue;
    return decColor.toString(16);
}

Hi,

I was looking for a script to convert RGB to Hex, I find your but when this script return HEX with "00", I can't convert this in color without some tricks. I made a new RGB to HEX script for you:

function RGBToHex(rgb) {
var char = "0123456789ABCDEF";
return String(char.charAt(Math.floor(rgb / 16))) + String(char.charAt(rgb - (Math.floor(rgb / 16) * 16)));
}

Seem to work fine with me! Hope your visitors enjoy it!
