How to generate random 'greenish' colors

Question

Anyone have any suggestions on how to make randomized colors that are all greenish? Right now I\'m generating the colors by this:

color = (randint(100, 200),         


        

Answer 1

Simple solution: Use the HSL or HSV color space instead of rgb (convert it to RGB afterwards if you need this). The difference is the meaning of the tuple: Where RGB means values for Red, Green and Blue, in HSL the H is the color (120 degree or 0.33 meaning green for example) and the S is for saturation and the V for the brightness. So keep the H at a fixed value (or for even more random colors you could randomize it by add/sub a small random number) and randomize the S and the V. See the wikipedia article.
