Open Source JavaScript PostScript Software

A color gen­er­a­tor for JavaScript. There are lots of clever one-lin­ers for gen­er­at­ing ran­dom col­ors. Unfortunately, this code nat­u­rally pro­duces murky greys, browns and greens. ran­dom­Color gen­er­ates at­trac­tive col­ors by de­fault. More specif­i­cally, ran­dom­Color pro­duces bright col­ors with a rea­son­ably high sat­u­ra­tion. This makes ran­dom­Color par­tic­u­larly use­ful for data vi­su­al­iza­tions and gen­er­a­tive art. Once you’ve in­cluded ran­dom­Color.js on your page, call­ing ran­dom­Color() will re­turn a ran­dom at­trac­tive color. Beneath is the out­put of ran­dom­Color called 54 times. You can also pass an op­tions ob­ject to ran­dom­Color. This al­lows you to spec­ify the hue, lu­mi­nos­ity and the num­ber of col­ors to gen­er­ate.
