Returning name of colors using jQuery

Question

CSS:

.red-tile-color{
    background-color:red;
    color:white;
}

JS:

var colorName = $(\".red-tile-color\").css(\"color\"         


        

Answer 1

It's going to be messy trying to get a name from the rgb value. I would instead encourage you to use the jQuery Color plugin to determine whether the current color is a particular value or not:

if ( $.Color( colorName ).is( "red" ) ) {
    /* Do X */
} else {
    /* Do Y */
}
