I have a raindow HSV gradient canvas that when you click it, an element is added at that location with its background as the color of the clicked pixel.
What I'd like is to have it work in reverse as well. For example if you had a hex color, I'd like to find that pixel on the canvas and create an element at that position.
My first thought was to somehow use a matrix/quadrant system. My next thought was that since I'm using HSV, I could use my HSV gradient location points to figure out the location. The problem is that my points aren't equidistant from each other which makes it harder. On top of that, I have a white gradient and black gradient covering the main color gradient and I need that to be accounted for.
So my question is, how can I find the position of the color pixel or at least it's closest match by just using a hex code?
Here is my code thus far: http://codepen.io/shelbywhite/pen/EyqPWY?editors=1000
HTML:
<div class="container">
<canvas class="colorSpectrum"></canvas>
<div class="circle"></div>

CSS:
.container {

.circle {

border-radius: 50%;
border: 2px solid #fff;

** UPDATE **
I'm actually trying to do this in HSV not HSL. I don't have preference other than I used photoshop to generate a smooth gradient.
Also, I have added a new example with what I have created. One of the up-voted answers below hints at how to accomplish what I'm trying to do, but so far I haven't been able to successfully do it.
Updated code will be at this link, I've also updated the code above: http://codepen.io/shelbywhite/pen/EyqPWY?editors=1000

To get the location you need the HSL values
// global
var RGB = [0,0,0]; // holds the RGB values 0-255
var LSH = [0,0,0]; // holds the LSH values (note H is normalised to 0-255)
var rgbToLSH = function(){
var r = RGB[0]/255;
var g = RGB[1]/255;
var b = RGB[2]/255;
var min = Math.min(r,g,b);
var max = Math.max(r,g,b);
var lum = (min+max)/2;
if(lum > 0.5){
var sat = (max-min)/(max+min);
}else{
var sat = (max-min)/(2-max-min);
}
if(r >= b && r >= g){
var hue = (g-b)/(max-min);
}else
if(b >= b && b >= g){
var hue = 4.0 + (r-g)/(max-min);
}else{
var hue = 2.0 + (b-r)/(max-min);
}
hue *= 60;
if(hue < 0) hue += 360;
hue = (hue/360);
lum = Math.min(1,Math.max(0,lum));
sat = Math.min(1,Math.max(0,sat));
hue = Math.min(1,Math.max(0,hue));
LSH[0] = lum*255;
LSH[1] = sat*255;
LSH[2] = hue*255;
}
Hue will give the position on the x axis and Saturation will give you y from top to midway and Lightness will give you y axis position from midway to the bottom (going by your example);

You could iterate over the entire ImageData and compare both colors.
var findPixelByHex = function(imageData, hex) {
var d = imageData.data
var w = imageData.width
var h = imageData.height
for (var y = 0; y < h; ++y) {
for (var x = 0; x < w; ++x) {
var i = (y * w + x) * 4
if (hex === rgbToHex(d[i], d[i + 1], d[i + 2])) {
setColorAtPixel(x, y, hex)
}
}
}
}
Note that this is pretty slow and not the best idea.
