colorhash 1.0.2

Generate a color based on a value

This module generates a color based on an object, by calculating a color value based on a hash value for the object. This means the result is deterministic: the same value will always result in the same color (so long as the hash function remains deterministic).

This module is a port of the ‘color-hash’ Javascript library. It supports Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.3+.

Quick Start

>>> from colorhash import ColorHash
>>> c = ColorHash('Hello World')
>>> c.hsl
(131, 0.65, 0.5)
>>> c.rgb
(45, 210, 75)
>>> c.hex
'#2dd24b'

Changelog

• color-hash 1.0.2 (2016-07-08)

  • Add crc32_hash function and set default hashfunc to that. It’s not fully backwards-compatible, but I don’t want to bump the version a lot for not doing my research.

• color-hash 1.0.0 (2016-07-07)

  • Initial port.
