Do you need to color a number of items in a Web page or elsewhere, and
you want the colors to be as different as possible for each other?
This page can help you.
What does it do?
You enter the number of colors you want, and the brightness
you want.
The brightness is entered as a number from 0 to 1.
You can cut and paste the color values from the HTML Compatible
Color list field below. Below that are the
colors as they appear in your browser.
The source code for the color list subroutine is available
here.
How does it work?
The program models color-space as a cube with red, green and blue
on the x, y and z axis. It then
chooses the largest circle in this cube whose points have the
requested brightness. This circle is divided into
requested number of colors, and the red, green, blue
componenets of the point determine the color.
