Func RandomColorManadar()
    $r = Hex(Random(0, 5, 1) * 3, 1)
    $g = Hex(Random(0, 5, 1) * 3, 1)
    $b = Hex(Random(0, 5, 1) * 3, 1)
    Return $r & $r & $g & $g & $b & $b
EndFunc

Can be done simpler than this, I'm sure.

Func _ColorGetRandomColor()
    Return "0x" & Hex(Random(1, 255, 1) & Random(1, 255, 1) & Random(1, 255, 1), 6)
EndFunc

That's terrible MrCreatoR.

Why not just:

ConsoleWrite(_RandClr() & @LF)

Func _RandClr()
    Return "0x" & Hex(Random(0, 16777215, 1), 6)
EndFunc

[MrCreatoR]

That's terrible MrCreatoR.

Why?

P.S

It's not written by me

[trancexx]

Why?

Couple of reasons. Color value is always expected to be integer value, every function that will use it will turn it to number therefore, hence making it a string makes absolutely no sense. Next is string concatenation of three random numbers. What's that? An attempt of "randomizing" every color val for it self? I hope not. Implementation is to dumb, almost as much as the idea.

edit:

Anyway, random RGB color is:

Random(0, 0xFFFFFF, 1)

Anything else is

Floor(Random()*0x1000000) ;; Random() INT mode can eat this one's dust.

Allows you to specify a range of bright colors or dark or gray

GUICreate('My Program', 250, 260)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton('Start', 10, 10, 120, 22)
GUISetState()
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case $Button1
            For $i = 1 To 10
                GUISetBkColor(_ColorGetRandomColor())
                Sleep(200)
            Next
        Case -3
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _ColorGetRandomColor()
    Return Dec(Hex(Random(0, 255, 1), 2) & Hex(Random(0, 255, 1), 2) & Hex(Random(0, 255, 1), 2))
EndFunc

I wrote my function to match the output of the function of the OP. But since then he changed his 450 line of code function which only returned HTML colors.

I don't know why he suddenly required different functionality.

I actualy did it like this:

Random(0x000000, 0xFFFFFF, 1)

Well, you could (try to) ask OP why (if you care to know of course). If this (your assumed reason) is the case/reason for the change/edit of Msg#1. (although you seem to have something else on your mind with this reply.)

Seems to me like a "topic/question is solved" change.

My two cents on the random color discussion.

These are two pics created by

1. Random(0,0xFFFFFF,1)

and

2. Dec(Hex(Random(0, 255, 1), 2) & Hex(Random(0, 255, 1), 2) & Hex(Random(0, 255, 1), 2))

Names of pics:

1. usa_random

2. usa_rgb_random
