I have a color input like this

function setstyle(elm, val) {
  elm.style.color = val;
}

<input type="color" name="fontcolor" id="fontcolor" value="#ffffff" onchange="setstyle('usermsg',this.value);">

when you choose a color this will automatically change the style in a separate text area. However, despite the input is in hex, it will always output it as RGB which I don't need. How can I fix that so it adds the equivalent hex value?
