 * Hi all,
 * Im “playing” with the Customization API, for live colors on a theme.
 * As you know on the javascript that live-changes color on something, as wordpress
   reference teaches you use a code like:
 *     ```
       wp.customize( 'your_color_option', function( value ) {
         value.bind( function( newval ) {
           $('.main-menu').css('background-color', newval );
         } );
       } );
       ```
   
 * Instead of having thousand of similar function for every color option, i would
   like to be able to get the name of the option changed from the customization 
   panel.
    In short retrieve ‘your_color_option’ in this case.
 * Any way i could do that? Can someone help im kinda nub in js-oop 🙂
    Thanks
