Possible to supply a hex value to solid's color property?

I know the AE Scripting Guide specifies that we have to supply an array of RGB values if we wish to change a solid's color property.  I'm just curious if it is possible to supply a hex value in lieu of an RGB array.  Does anybody have any experience with a work around?

Thanks!

The conversion is easy enough:

function hexToColor(theHex){

  var r = theHex >> 16;

  var g = (theHex & 0x00ff00) >> 8;

  var b = theHex & 0xff;

  return [r/255,g/255,b/255];

}

Dan,

Just wanted to add that I didn't realize your function assumed the hex color value would be passed in as `0xFFFFFF`.  My data was passed in as a string such as `FFFFFF`.  To fix, I just added one line:

function hexToColor(theHex){

  theHex = parseInt(theHex,16);

 

  var r = theHex >> 16;

  var g = (theHex & 0x00ff00) >> 8;

  var b = theHex & 0xff;

 

  return [r/255,g/255,b/255];

 

}

Thought this might help somebody who had the same data coming in question.  Thanks, again for the help.
