我发现随机生成的颜色往往没有足够的对比度来满足我的口味。我发现解决这个问题最简单的方法是预先填充一个非常不同的颜色列表。对于每个新字符串，分配列表中的下一个颜色:

// Takes any string and converts it into a #RRGGBB color.
var StringToColor = (function(){
    var instance = null;

    return {
    next: function stringToColor(str) {
        if(instance === null) {
            instance = {};
            instance.stringToColorHash = {};
            instance.nextVeryDifferntColorIdx = 0;
            instance.veryDifferentColors = ["#000000","#00FF00","#0000FF","#FF0000","#01FFFE","#FFA6FE","#FFDB66","#006401","#010067","#95003A","#007DB5","#FF00F6","#FFEEE8","#774D00","#90FB92","#0076FF","#D5FF00","#FF937E","#6A826C","#FF029D","#FE8900","#7A4782","#7E2DD2","#85A900","#FF0056","#A42400","#00AE7E","#683D3B","#BDC6FF","#263400","#BDD393","#00B917","#9E008E","#001544","#C28C9F","#FF74A3","#01D0FF","#004754","#E56FFE","#788231","#0E4CA1","#91D0CB","#BE9970","#968AE8","#BB8800","#43002C","#DEFF74","#00FFC6","#FFE502","#620E00","#008F9C","#98FF52","#7544B1","#B500FF","#00FF78","#FF6E41","#005F39","#6B6882","#5FAD4E","#A75740","#A5FFD2","#FFB167","#009BFF","#E85EBE"];
        }

        if(!instance.stringToColorHash[str])
            instance.stringToColorHash[str] = instance.veryDifferentColors[instance.nextVeryDifferntColorIdx++];

            return instance.stringToColorHash[str];
        }
    }
})();

// Get a new color for each string
StringToColor.next("get first color");
StringToColor.next("get second color");

// Will return the same color as the first time
StringToColor.next("get first color");

虽然它的颜色限制只有64种，但我发现大多数人在那之后都无法真正分辨出区别。我认为你可以添加更多的颜色。

虽然这段代码使用了硬编码的颜色，但至少可以保证您在开发过程中确切地知道在生产中您将看到的颜色之间的对比有多大。

颜色列表是从这个SO答案中提取的，还有其他更多颜色的列表。

以下是对CD Sanchez的答案的改编，它始终返回一个6位数的颜色代码:

var stringToColour = function(str) {
  var hash = 0;
  for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
    hash = str.charCodeAt(i) + ((hash << 5) - hash);
  }
  var colour = '#';
  for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    var value = (hash >> (i * 8)) & 0xFF;
    colour += ('00' + value.toString(16)).substr(-2);
  }
  return colour;
}

用法:

stringToColour("greenish");
// -> #9bc63b

(另一种/更简单的解决方案可能涉及返回'rgb(…)'风格的颜色代码。)

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%)`;
};

我想要类似丰富的HTML元素的颜色，我惊讶地发现CSS现在支持hsl()颜色，所以一个完整的解决方案如下:

另参见如何自动生成N“不同”的颜色?更多类似的选择。

编辑:根据@zei的版本更新(美式拼写)

var stringToColor = (string, saturation = 100, lightness = 75) => { let hash = 0; for (let i = 0; i < string.length; i++) { hash = string.charCodeAt(i) + ((hash << 5) - hash); hash = hash & hash; } return `hsl(${(hash % 360)}, ${saturation}%, ${lightness}%)`; } // For the sample on stackoverflow function colorByHashCode(value) { return "<span style='color:" + stringToColor(value) + "'>" + value + "</span>"; } document.body.innerHTML = [ "javascript", "is", "nice", ].map(colorByHashCode).join("<br/>"); span { font-size: 50px; font-weight: 800; }

在HSL中，它的色调，饱和度，亮度。所以色调在0-359之间会得到所有的颜色，饱和度是你想要的颜色的丰富程度，100%对我来说是合适的。而亮度决定了深度，50%是正常的，25%是深色，75%是粉彩。我有30%，因为它最适合我的配色方案。

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);
}
