Answer 1

No need to use jquery:

var arr = ["color1:white","color2:black"].map(x => x.split(':')[1]);

console.log(arr); 
console.log(arr.indexOf('black') > -1 ? 'yes' : 'no');

Please check if you have properly assigned values to an array. Try below code:

if ($.inArray("black", ar) !== -1) {
   alert("yes");
}
else {
   alert("no");
}
