When trying getCssValue("color"), it still returns the rgb value not the hex value.

Hi All,

When trying getCssValue("color"), it still returns the rgb value not
the hex value.
I search the Google and find some explanation in
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/selenium-developers/gBqWHo068NY
but no solution.
Should I involve an enum class for converting rbg to hex?

Thanks

There is a Color class included with selenium java to help with the conversion. Check it out:

Do we have something similar for C#, or what should be the workaround?

Thanks

Hi there. I am totally lost on this same issue.. I have one single website that is behaving this way in chrome. The actual CSS is in HEX, but the chrome inspector keep showing it in RGB, but when altered, the changes to not take effect and revert to the RGB, which is just incorrect. IF anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

moises,

you can just do online search for RGB to hex (followed with language of choice) for options. For example, this is what I came across for .NET:

same idea to find solution for the reverse translation

Nat,

How did you alter the values? Within Chrome inspector (or the HTML source/DOM editor)? Or within Chrome javascript console? Or from Selenium? If from Chrome inspector, trying doing it with the javascript console (using the appropriate object like document.something or the jQuery equivalent, etc.). You can also try fetching the value from javascript console via the appropriate js object rather than the inspector to see if that reports a different value.
