If color value is not valid - JavaScript

Question

I have a problem with my JavaScript code if you enter the wrong code ( color value) then it must be black. but when I enter somthing like "blablabla" then it will be that I typed the last for exemple: I write Red then it will be a red circle, but after that when I write blablabla will be red too, I just want that when I write a wrong color word it will be Black I Think that I have to write an rgb code so the funktion will check if I write right or wrong

function getPos(canvas, event){

    var a = new Number();
    var b = new Number();
    var canvas= document.getElementById("can1");

    if (event.a != undefined && event.b != undefined)
    {
      a = event.a;
      b = event.b;
    }
    else
    {
      a = event.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft +
          document.documentElement.scrollLeft;
      b = event.clientY + document.body.scrollTop +
          document.documentElement.scrollTop;
    }
    a -= canvas.offsetLeft;
    b -= canvas.offsetTop;




    var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
    var color1 = document.getElementById('color');
    var size = document.getElementById('size');
    ctx.beginPath();

    if ( size.value > 0)
        {
        ctx.arc(a,b,size.value, 275*(Math.PI/180), 635*(Math.PI/180), false);
        }
    else
        {
        ctx.arc(a,b,15, 275*(Math.PI/180), 635*(Math.PI/180), false);
        } 




    if (color1.value.length < 0)
        {   
        ctx.fillStyle = "#000000";

        }

    else if (color1.value.length == 0) 
        {
        ctx.fillStyle = '#000000';
        }

    else
        {
        ctx.fillStyle = color1.value; 
        }



        ctx.fill();
        ctx.stroke();
        ctx.closePath();
        window.localStorage['IMG'] = canvas.toDataURL();
}     

the problem is here I guess:

if (color1.value.length < 0)
        {   
        ctx.fillStyle = "#000000";

        }

    else if (color1.value.length == 0) 
        {
        ctx.fillStyle = '#000000';
        }

    else
        {
        ctx.fillStyle = color1.value; 
        }

Answer 1

You should check for a valid hex or for color names. This solution is build out of two answers and is written by heart:

• Javascript function to convert color names to hex codes
• How to check if a string is a valid hex color representation?

function colorNameToHex(color) {
    var colors = {

    if (typeof colors[color.toLowerCase()] != 'undefined')
        return colors[color.toLowerCase()];

    return false;
}

function checkHex(color) {
    return /(^#[0-9A-F]{6}$)|(^#[0-9A-F]{3}$)/i.test(color);
}

var color = color1.value;

if (checkHex(color) || colorNameToHex(color)) {
    ctx.fillStyle = color;
} else {
    ctx.fillStyle = "#000000";
}

Answer 2

If you are able to get the entered color text then compare it with below format-

var isValidColor  = /(^#[0-9A-F]{6}$)|(^#[0-9A-F]{3}$)/i.test('Your color code here') 

for example-

var isValidColor  = /(^#[0-9A-F]{6}$)|(^#[0-9A-F]{3}$)/i.test('#aabbcc')
