had nothin to do, so i thought i should share sommin with you guys 🙂

```php

function randomColor() {
	hexcode = ["0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F"];
	ranColor = "0x";
	for (i=0; i<6; i++) {
		randomhexcode = hexcode[(random(hexcode.length))];
		ranColor += randomhexcode;
	}
	return (ranColor);
}

```

it returns an random hex color code 🙂 something like:

0x000000 \<black

feel free to use it ! 🙂
