To further generalize, I would set up the function to allow different centers and widths for each color component, which would allow us to produce a rainbow of greens-blues, for example.
I’m curious to look up a way to make a web page’s javascript run on timed intervals after loading, so that one could make a background with fluctuating colors. Or maybe white-on-black to black-on-white fluctuating. That would be fun and annoying! :D

Agreed.

I believe the setTimeout() and setInterval() functions will allow you to do just that :)

This article is really cool!
BTW, to convert hex-to-dec in JavaScript you can also use:
var num = 170;
num.toString(16);
or
(170).toString(16)
To binary?

Stoyen: True, but there is still a need to add the leading zero padding when producing hex digits for single digit numbers. A sprintf() function would make things much easier, since you can use “%02x” to specify a 2-digit hex number with zero-padding.
