RGB to hex and hex to RGB

Question

How to convert colors in RGB format to hex format and vice versa?

For example, convert \'#0080C0\' to (0, 128, 192).

Answer 1

Shorthand version that accepts a string:

function rgbToHex(a){
  a=a.replace(/[^\d,]/g,"").split(","); 
  return"#"+((1<<24)+(+a[0]<<16)+(+a[1]<<8)+ +a[2]).toString(16).slice(1)
}

document.write(rgbToHex("rgb(255,255,255)"));

To check if it's not already hexadecimal

function rgbToHex(a){
  if(~a.indexOf("#"))return a;
  a=a.replace(/[^\d,]/g,"").split(","); 
  return"#"+((1<<24)+(+a[0]<<16)+(+a[1]<<8)+ +a[2]).toString(16).slice(1)
}

document.write("rgb: "+rgbToHex("rgb(255,255,255)")+ " -- hex: "+rgbToHex("#e2e2e2"));
