# color-generator
Generates colors based on the golden ratio, inspired by Martin Ankerl's
[blog post](http://martin.ankerl.com/2009/12/09/how-to-create-random-colors-programmatically/).
The generated colors are more visually pleasing together than a simple random color generator because
they are computed by moving around the color wheel in increments of the golden ratio.
By default, the generated colors can used as a background for legible black text,
but the color generator can be customized for other uses.
Returns [color](https://github.com/harthur/color) objects so you can convert the colors to any colorspace
or CSS string representation easily.
## Example
```javascript
var gen = require('color-generator');
// see https://github.com/harthur/color for docs on conversions
gen().hexString() // '#BF79F2'
gen().rgbString() // 'rgb(242, 226, 121)'
// provide custom saturation and brightness
gen(0.8, 0.25).hexString() // '#0D1C40'
```
