Added leading zeros for generated values shorter than 6 symbols. strtoupper example ommited because it's straightforward.

$rand = str_pad(dechex(rand(0x000000, 0xFFFFFF)), 6, 0, STR_PAD_LEFT); echo('#' . $rand);

You can change randrand() in for mt_randmt_rand() if you want, and you can put strtoupper()strtoupper() around the dechexstr_pad() to make the random number look nicer (although it’s not required). That would look like $rand = strtoupper(dechex(rand(0x000000, 0xFFFFFF)));

It works perfectly and is way simpler than all the other methods described here :)
