JavaScript normalise CSS color values (convert to hex?)

Question

element.style.color will be whatever the stylesheet specifies, rgba(121, 110, 12, 14);, or rgb(... or hsl, #afd544 etc.

How can I convert element.style.color to some standard, comparable value (RGB-triple or hex string for example) using JavaScript?

@majusebetter that's just a hex-to-rgba converter, I already know how to do this — theonlygusti, Oct 08 '21 at 09:21

You can try using window.getComputedStyle(element).getPropertyValue('color').

Should give you the color property in the unified rgb(r, g, b) format.
