        var rgbValue = [255, 0, 0]; 


        function setColor() { 
            rgbValue[0] = Math.round(Math.random() * 255); 
            rgbValue[1] = Math.round(Math.random() * 255); 
            rgbValue[2] = Math.round(Math.random() * 255); 
            var color = Math.round(((parseInt(rgbValue[0]) * 299) + 
                (parseInt(rgbValue[1]) * 587) + 
                (parseInt(rgbValue[2]) * 114)) / 1000); 
            var textColor = (color > 125) ? 'black' : 'white'; 
            var backColor =  
                'rgb(' + rgbValue[0] + ', ' + rgbValue[1] + ', ' 
             + rgbValue[2] + ')'; 

            $('#backG').css('color', textColor); 
            $('#backG').css('background-color', backColor); 
        } 

        function col_Fun() { 
            setColor(); 
        }
