I am looking to create a Jquery script that will randomly choose a colour from a list of 10, and then apply it as a background color to one div, and the color of a h1 tag.
So far I have this which makes a random color:
$(document).ready(function() { var hue = 'rgb(' + (Math.floor((256-199)*Math.random()) + 200) + ','
+ (Math.floor((256-199)*Math.random()) + 200) + ','
+ (Math.floor((256-199)*Math.random()) + 200) + ')';
$('#controls-wrapper').css("background-color", hue);
$('h1').css("color", hue);});
but how can I make this choose randomly from a list of 10 colors? I found this, but not sure how you would apply this to bg color div and h1 tag.
$("#controls-wrapper").each(function(){
var colors = ["#CCCCCC","#333333","#990099"];
var rand = Math.floor(Math.random()*colors.length);
$(this).css("background-color", colors[rand]);});
May be this can help:

I think what you are trying to accomplish is this:
Assuming you have a HTML page like this:
After you have created your colors array you then get a random number corresponding to the index of a color.
Now that you have a random index you can use it to set the background-color, or text color of an object.
If you wanted the colors to be different for each then you would just call
again before setting the color of your next element.
And finally by calling
$('h1').css("color", colors[rand]);
you will set the color on all H1 elements on the page, you want it to be specific set an ID or class value on the H1 and then use$('h1.myclass').css("color", colors[rand]);
OR$('#ID_for_my_H1').css("color", colors[rand]);
