How do I change the text-color of a button in HTML to a random color upon clicking it?

I've tried the following code:

<button id = "changeColor">Click here to change my color</button>
<script>
var changeButton = document.getElementById('changeColor');

function random(number){
  return Math.floor(Math.random()*number);
}

function switchColor(){
    var randomColor = 'rgb(' + random(255) + ',' + random(255) + ',' + random(255) + ')';
}
changeButton.addEventListener('click', switchColor);
</script>

but the button doesn't return any color upon clicking it.

Thanks a lot in advance for answering my question

You need to change the color in style of the selected button with the genrated random color.

changeButton.style.color = randomColor

<button id = "changeColor">Click here to change my color</button>
<script>
var changeButton = document.getElementById('changeColor');

function random(number){
  return Math.floor(Math.random()*number);
}

function switchColor(){
    var randomColor = 'rgb(' + random(255) + ',' + random(255) + ',' + random(255) + ')';
    changeButton.style.color = randomColor
    console.log(randomColor);
}
changeButton.addEventListener('click', switchColor);
</script>

Try This Way

Your Code Is Missing

changeButton.style.color = color;

var changeButton = document.getElementById('changeColor');

function random(min, max){
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
}

function switchColor(){
    var color;
    color = 'rgb(' + random(0, 255) + ',' + random(0, 255) + ',' + random(0, 255) + ')';
    changeButton.style.color = color;
}
changeButton.addEventListener('click', switchColor);
button{ border: none; }
<button id = "changeColor">Click here to change my color</button>
