Get Default Background Colour

I am trying to fetch the colour of my Submit buttons background-colour on click using JQuery however when doing so the hover colour is stored instead of the default.

var originalCol = rgb2hex($("#submit").css('backgroundColor'));

How can I modify the above code to get me the default background colour rather than the hover colour?

You have to read the backgroundColor BEFORE you hover over the element. Obviously the hovered button has different backgroundColor.

The $(element).css() accesses the computed value.

So you should read the bgColor at the same time as when you attach the event listener.
