or whatever circumstances. This is done using a sha1 hash on the name and taking the first 7
characters in it hex representation to calculate the color.
Requirements
PHP 5.4 or higher.
Installation
Using Composer:
composer require cebe/color-nick
Usage
<?php
use cebe\colornick\Color;
require(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');
$color = Color::calculateColor($name);
