How do I write a RGB color value in JavaScript?

Question

I am trying to change the color of the function swapFE() below and I can't figure out how to write it. I was told to change the color of the phrase node to the color value (155, 102, 102). I tried to do that as you can see at the end of the function see- parent.childNodes[1].style.color= (155, 102, 102); but it just comes out a dark navy blue. It's supposed to be a brownish red. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. How can I fix this to get the correct RGB color? I know I have the rest right it's just figuring out how to write the color and the value that's giving me problems. Thanks! ``` //this function changes the French phrase to an English phrase. function swapFE(e) { var phrase = e.srcElement; //phrase.innerText = english[phrase.id]; var parent = phrase.parentNode; //childNodes[0] is the number of the phrase +1 var idnum = parent.childNodes[0]; //parseInt takes a textstring and extracts it to make a number. Then you will subtract 1 from the number. var phrasenum = parseInt(idnum.…

Accepted Answer

try:

```
parent.childNodes[1].style.color = "rgb(155, 102, 102)"; 
```

Or

```
parent.childNodes[1].style.color = "#"+(155).toString(16)+(102).toString(16)+(102).toString(16);
```
