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

Just store them as an integer with the three channels at different bit offsets (just like they are often stored in memory):

value = (red << 16) + (green << 8) + blue

(If each channel is 0-255). Store that integer in the database and do the reverse operation when you need to get back to the distinct channels.
