JQPlot - Pie chart - get the clicked slice colour

Question

my requirement is to get the selected colour of the pie slice when the user clicks on it. It would be good if I can do it within the following function:

$('#chart1').bind('jqplotDataClick',
    function (ev, seriesIndex, pointIndex, data) {
      alert("ev = " + ev + " seriesIndex = " + seriesIndex + "pointIndex = " + pointIndex + "data = " + data);
});

Any ideas? Thanks.

Yes you can get the color :

plot.series[seriesIndex].seriesColors[pointIndex]

where plot is the var in which you store your jqPlot
