Adding on  Newred solution  If your style has more than just the background-color you can use this     this  attr  style   split      filter item   gt  item startsWith  background-color    0  split      1

There s a bit of a hack for this  since the HTML5 canvas is required to parse color values when certain properties like strokeStyle and fillStyle are set   var ctx   document createElement  canvas   getContext  2d    ctx strokeStyle    rgb 64  128  192    var hexColor   ctx strokeStyle

In fact  if there is no definition of background-color under some element  Chrome will output its background-color as rgba 0  0  0  0   while Firefox outputs is transparent

This Solution utilizes part of what  Newred and  Radu Di a said   But will work in less standard cases      this  attr  style   split      filter item   gt  item startsWith  background-color    0  split      1  replace   s g         The issue both of them have is that neither check for a space between background-color   and the color    All of these will match with the above code    background-color   ffffff  background-color        fffff   background-color  fffff
