randomHexColorCode

Generates a random hexadecimal color code.

Use Math.random to generate a random 24-bit(6x4bits) hexadecimal number. Use bit shifting and then convert it to an hexadecimal String using toString(16).

const randomHexColor = () => {
    let n = (Math.random()*0xfffff|0).toString(16);
    return '#' + (n.length !== 6
        ? (Math.random()*0xf|0).toString(16) + n : n);
}
// randomHexColorCode() -> "#e34155"
