Improper color values(?)

[mpalmer12345]

What happens when you feed numbers higher than 255 into the three hex slots of a font color (strColor)? I am getting some pretty, but unpredictable, effects I would like to reproduce, if possible, but within a setting where the values are within the proper range and won't produce error messages.
strColor = "#" + RedHex + GreenHex + BlueHex

So if color1 = 255 it keeps being incremented, which makes it rise above 255!

function fnNextColor(color1, color2) {
if (color1 < color2)
{
NextColor = color1 - 1;

} else
{
NextColor = color1 + 1;
}
return NextColor;
}

Then turn NextColor into hex color value, RedHex etc.

As far as I know, the values simply wrap around after hitting 255... So effectively, 256 becomes 1, 257 becomes 2, 258 = 3... and so on.

I haven't tested this theory, but it's the kind of behaviour I would expect, anyway ;o)

Hope this helps!

Yeah, my guess would be that it just truncates the end.

So FFFFFF0 would truncate to
FFFFFF

and 0FFFFFF to
0FFFFF

But I really don't know for sure.
