I'm afraid there's a bug in RGBToHex.

You need to pad each hex value, otherwise your full hex number could end up being 3, 4 or 5 digits.

For instance, the following would both generate #22222, despite being different colours: RGBToHex (2, 34, 34); RGBToHex (34, 34, 2);

Try this:

function RGBToHex($r, $g, $b) { $hex = "#"; $hex.= strpad(dechex($r), 2, '0', STRPADLEFT ); $hex.= strpad(dechex($g), 2, '0', STRPADLEFT ); $hex.= strpad(dechex($b), 2, '0', STRPAD_LEFT );

    return $hex;
}

Meh, Snipplr doesn't seem to want to display my code properly, but hopefully you get the idea.
