Generating a Random Hex Color in Python

Question

For a Django App, each \"member\" is assigned a color to help identify them. Their color is stored in the database and then printed/copied into the HTML when it is needed. T

Answer 1

This has been done before. Rather than implementing this yourself, possibly introducing errors, you may want to use a ready library, for example Faker. Have a look at the color providers, in particular hex_digit.

In [1]: from faker import Factory

In [2]: fake = Factory.create()

In [3]: fake.hex_color()
Out[3]: u'#3cae6a'

In [4]: fake.hex_color()
Out[4]: u'#5a9e28'
