Getting player's nick without hex code

['LinKin]

Hello,

I've been trying to make it so that the chatbox gets the player's nick without the #RRGGBB hex color code. But I've not been successful with it.

Here's the line I'm working on

outputChatBox(tostring(getPlayerName(source)).. "#ff0000's vehicle has been blown for being AFK [#ABCDEF"..afkCount.."/3#ff0000]",getRootElement(),255,0,0,true) 

As a result, the chatbox shows the player's nick colour based on the current hex code the player is wearing.

But I don't want that. I wanna make it so that it doesn't matter when the player is wearing a hex color code with his nick, the chatbox's message displays in RED color.

Thanks,

Linkin.
