[Vivek Sagar]

 Like you use chrome.storage to save the selected color when it is changed and onContentLoaded in a content script to load whatever  the saved value is in?

Yes Not Exactly let me explain properly

I have an popup html linked with event.js file using that i will let user choose the color then change the background of the website on which the extension is used.

But the issue is how can i connect the event.js with content.js so that the color code info get transferred to content js and the background will change. 

I jused the message api to create communication and it worked  but the thing is when that page reload the contents script get reset i want something that can store that color code value when user choose and also work when the website reload

I apologize, I meant "Can you use", rather than "like you use". 

As in, could you check if a value is set onLoad, and then use that, otherwise request the user pick a color? You can access chrome.storage from any context, so you can add an event listener for the storage value
