The only problem being that you can't do that......
CF is server-side and JS is client-side. Any of the variables in JS will be
unavailable until the page reaches the users browser at which point it has
already been processed by CF Server. You can only go from CF --> JS in one
page. ie.
<script>
colourval = '#yourcfcolourvalue#';
</script>
If you want to go from JS --> CF then the page must be submitted by the user
in one way or another sending the JS variables via URL or form to
another/the same CF page, where the URL and FORM variables can be processed.
