## Overview

Randomized atractive Color Palette's generator.  

### Screenshot

- Can be limited by Hue and luminance ranges.  

- Colors can be sorted by hue, saturation and brightness.

### Ported from javascript based Random Color 

Original Demo [here](https://randomcolor.lllllllllllllllll.com/).

## Why does this exist?

_There are lots of clever one-liners for generating random colors:  

Unfortunately, this code naturally produces murky greys, browns and greens.  

randomColor generates attractive colors by default.  

More specifically, randomColor produces bright colors with a reasonably high saturation.  

This makes randomColor particularly useful for data visualizations and generative art._
