Purpose:
Give the user the ability to see the six digit hexadecimal representation of a specific Color object.  NOTE:  This is currently an alias for Color.getHexCode().

Returns:
Returns a string which begins with a pound sign (#) followed by three pairs of hexadecimal digits.  The first pair of digits represent the amount of red in the color.  The second pair of digits represent the amount of green in the color.  The third pair of digits represent the amount of blue in the color.  NOTE:  If concatenating with a string, this function doesn't need to be used because it will be automatically invoked.

Example #1:
The following will instantiate a color using three decimal digits.  After that, the hexadecimal code will be shown:

// Create a random color. var r = Math.round(255 * Math.random()); var g = Math.round(255 * Math.random()); var b = Math.round(255 * Math.random()); var aColor = new Color(r, g, b); // Display the color as this textbox's background. $("#tblEx1 TEXTAREA").setCSS("background-color", aColor); $("#tblEx1 TEXTAREA").setCSS("color", aColor.getSafeColor()); // Display the three random decimal values and the hexadecimal color code that // they produce. alert("When r = " + r + ", g = " + g + ", and b = " + b + ", the corresponding " + "hexadecimal code is " + aColor.toString() + ".");

Example #2:
The following will instantiate a color using three hexadecimal digits.  After that, the six digit hexadecimal code will be shown:

// Create a random color. var r = Math.round(15 * Math.random()).toString(16); var g = Math.round(15 * Math.random()).toString(16); var b = Math.round(15 * Math.random()).toString(16); var code3 = "#" + r + g + b; var aColor = new Color(code3); // Display the color as this textbox's background. $("#tblEx2 TEXTAREA").setCSS("background-color", aColor); $("#tblEx2 TEXTAREA").setCSS("color", aColor.getSafeColor()); // Display the three random decimal values and the hexadecimal color code that // they produce. alert("When instantiating a color with the three digit hexadecimal code " + code3 + ", the corresponding six digit hexadecimal code is " + aColor.toString() + ".");
