I coded up a little tiny PHP method that takes any text string and returns 5 usable "html" hexadecimal colors.
It's not as artful as I'd have liked it to be, but then again my programming skills are not everything I'd like them to be either. ;)
$name_colors_array = explode("--",chunk_split(md5($name),6,"--"));
Nothing exciting. Might use it to generate little visual cues of authorship for aggregated views... somewhere.
Update:
You can get 10 three letter hex colors by changing the 6 to 3.
I only need 1 or 4 for my purposes.
Update 2:
$name_colors_array2 = str_split(md5("http://bopuc.levendis.com/feed/feed.xml"),6);
is shorter. ;)
