我已经打开了一个pull request to Please.js，它允许从散列中生成颜色。

你可以像这样将字符串映射到一个颜色:

const color = Please.make_color({
    from_hash: "any string goes here"
});

例如，"any string goes here"将返回"#47291b" “another!”返回为“#1f0c3d”

你真正需要的是一个好的哈希函数。在节点上，我只用

const crypto = require('crypto');
function strToColor(str) {
    return '#' + crypto.createHash('md5').update(str).digest('hex').substr(0, 6);
}

这个函数很有用。这是一个改编，相当长的执行这个repo ..

const color = (str) => {
    let rgb = [];
    // Changing non-hexadecimal characters to 0
    str = [...str].map(c => (/[0-9A-Fa-f]/g.test(c)) ? c : 0).join('');
    // Padding string with zeroes until it adds up to 3
    while (str.length % 3) str += '0';

    // Dividing string into 3 equally large arrays
    for (i = 0; i < str.length; i += str.length / 3)
        rgb.push(str.slice(i, i + str.length / 3));

    // Formatting a hex color from the first two letters of each portion
    return `#${rgb.map(string => string.slice(0, 2)).join('')}`;
}

下面是我提出的一个解决方案，根据输入字符串生成美观的粉彩颜色。它使用字符串的前两个字符作为随机种子，然后基于该种子生成R/G/B。

它可以很容易地扩展，以便种子是字符串中所有字符的异或，而不仅仅是前两个字符。

灵感来自David Crow的回答:算法随机生成一个美观的调色板

//magic to convert strings to a nice pastel colour based on first two chars
//
// every string with the same first two chars will generate the same pastel colour
function pastel_colour(input_str) {

    //TODO: adjust base colour values below based on theme
    var baseRed = 128;
    var baseGreen = 128;
    var baseBlue = 128;

    //lazy seeded random hack to get values from 0 - 256
    //for seed just take bitwise XOR of first two chars
    var seed = input_str.charCodeAt(0) ^ input_str.charCodeAt(1);
    var rand_1 = Math.abs((Math.sin(seed++) * 10000)) % 256;
    var rand_2 = Math.abs((Math.sin(seed++) * 10000)) % 256;
    var rand_3 = Math.abs((Math.sin(seed++) * 10000)) % 256;

    //build colour
    var red = Math.round((rand_1 + baseRed) / 2);
    var green = Math.round((rand_2 + baseGreen) / 2);
    var blue = Math.round((rand_3 + baseBlue) / 2);

    return { red: red, green: green, blue: blue };
}

2023版本普通和简单的TypeScript箭头函数，返回HSL颜色。

const stringToColor = (value: string) => {
  let hash = 0;
  for (let i = 0; i < value.length; i++) {
    hash = value.charCodeAt(i) + ((hash << 5) - hash);
  }

  return `hsl(${hash % 360}, 85%, 35%)`;
};

只是将Java从Compute的十六进制颜色代码任意字符串移植到Javascript:

function hashCode(str) { // java String#hashCode
    var hash = 0;
    for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
       hash = str.charCodeAt(i) + ((hash << 5) - hash);
    }
    return hash;
} 

function intToRGB(i){
    var c = (i & 0x00FFFFFF)
        .toString(16)
        .toUpperCase();

    return "00000".substring(0, 6 - c.length) + c;
}

转换你会做:

intToRGB(hashCode(your_string))
