Hi,

Could somebody tell me the regular expression for matching hex colour codes,

Code: 
var string="blah #000000 test #FF0000 blah #eeff00";

I know that " \d{6} " is six digits but it's not always digits only.

currently using " /\#\S{6}/g; ", but there must be a better way.

How about:
Code: 
\#[0-9A-F]{6}

Course that doesn't cover three character color codes...

Don't forget ignorecase, or #abcdef won't work.
