text fade - colors other than black/white??

[MrRee]

Found this useful javascript on the site, and it alludes to being able to use colors other than black/white, but doesn't give any explanation, and I can't figure it out... can anyone give me a hand? Thanks!! Here's the page with the code (at the bottom it talks about other colors, but doesn't explain...):

document.getElementById("fader").style.color="rgb("+hexinput+","+254+","+hexinput+")";
