Hello druveen,

You might need to post some of your code to make sense.

But, something like this should work:

<input type="hidden" id="chosenColour" value="#ABCDEF" />

<div onclick="document.getElementById('changeMe').style.color=document.getElementById('chosenColour').value;">Change the colour</div>

<div id="changeMe">I will change colour!</div>

Of course you need to integrate that with your colour picker but hopefully you get the idea.

(Sorry for the *correct* spelling of colour for all you US folks :) )

Regards,
