Generate Random Color distinguishable to Humans

Question

I am trying to randomly generate a color in hex in javascript.

However the colors generated are almost indistinguishable from eachother.
Is there a way to improv

Answer 1

Try this:

function getRandomColor() {
    var letters = '0123456789ABCDEF'.split('');
    var color = '#';
    for (var i = 0; i < 6; i++ ) {
        color += letters[Math.round(Math.random() * 15)];
    }
    return color;
}
