AutoHex

Generate unique and vibrant hex color codes from text using deterministic hashing.

Features

• Deterministic: Same input text always produces the same color
• Vibrant Colors: Uses HSL color space to generate visually appealing colors
• Customizable: Support for seeding and different algorithms
• Lightweight: No external dependencies

Installation

pip install autohex

Quick Start

from autohex import AutoHex

# Create an instance
generator = AutoHex()

# Generate a hex color from text
color = generator.gen("hello world")
print(color)  # #664df9

# Use a seed for consistent variations
seeded_generator = AutoHex(seed="my-project")
color = seeded_generator.gen("hello world")
print(color)  # #ec5915

API Reference

AutoHex(seed=None, algorithm='vibrant_hsl')

Creates a new color generator instance.

Parameters:

• seed (str, optional): A seed string to influence color generation
• algorithm (str): Color generation algorithm (currently only 'vibrant_hsl')

gen(text: str) -> str

Generates a hex color code from the input text.

Parameters:

• text (str): Input text to generate color from

Returns:

• str: Hex color code (e.g., '#7c5ab8')

Algorithm

The vibrant_hsl algorithm:

1. Hashes the input text using SHA-256
2. Converts hash to HSL color space
3. Ensures vibrant colors by constraining saturation (70-100%) and lightness (50-65%)
4. Converts to RGB and formats as hex
