String to Color

===============

Tiny library to generate the same nice hex color for a string in Javascript. 

###Features 

- Sexy colors, not muddy browns and boring grays

- Binary safe

- Only 0.5kb minified

### Why it needed to exist 

I needed a way to generate a consistent NICE color for any given word to assign a tag it's own independent color (without knowing what all tags are).

### How to use it

    var color = '#'+string_to_color('Some String');

    alert(color);

Optionally, you can pass a percentage to lighten/darken the shade. The default value is -10.

    var lighterColor = '#'+string_to_color('Some String', 40);

    alert(lighterColor);
