This project is no longer maintained, check out some of the forks. Or, I recommend string-to-color

String to Color

Tiny library to generate the same nice hex color for a string in Javascript.

###Features

• Sexy colors, not muddy browns and boring grays
• Binary safe
• Only 0.5kb minified

Why it needed to exist

I needed a way to generate a consistent NICE color for any given word to assign a tag it's own independent color (without knowing what all tags are).

How to use it

var color = '#'+string_to_color('Some String');
alert(color);

Optionally, you can pass a percentage to lighten/darken the shade. The default value is -10.

var lighterColor = '#'+string_to_color('Some String', 40);
alert(lighterColor);
