如何自动生成N“不同”的颜色?

I wrote the two methods below to automatically select N distinct colors. It works by defining a piecewise linear function on the RGB cube. The benefit of this is you can also get a progressive scale if that's what you want, but when N gets large the colors can start to look similar. I can also imagine evenly subdividing the RGB cube into a lattice and then drawing points. Does anyone know any other methods? I'm ruling out defining a list and then just cycling through it. I should also say I don't generally care if they clash or don't look nice, they just have to be visually distinct.

public static List<Color> pick(int num) {
    List<Color> colors = new ArrayList<Color>();
    if (num < 2)
        return colors;
    float dx = 1.0f / (float) (num - 1);
    for (int i = 0; i < num; i++) {
        colors.add(get(i * dx));
    }
    return colors;
}

public static Color get(float x) {
    float r = 0.0f;
    float g = 0.0f;
    float b = 1.0f;
    if (x >= 0.0f && x < 0.2f) {
        x = x / 0.2f;
        r = 0.0f;
        g = x;
        b = 1.0f;
    } else if (x >= 0.2f && x < 0.4f) {
        x = (x - 0.2f) / 0.2f;
        r = 0.0f;
        g = 1.0f;
        b = 1.0f - x;
    } else if (x >= 0.4f && x < 0.6f) {
        x = (x - 0.4f) / 0.2f;
        r = x;
        g = 1.0f;
        b = 0.0f;
    } else if (x >= 0.6f && x < 0.8f) {
        x = (x - 0.6f) / 0.2f;
        r = 1.0f;
        g = 1.0f - x;
        b = 0.0f;
    } else if (x >= 0.8f && x <= 1.0f) {
        x = (x - 0.8f) / 0.2f;
        r = 1.0f;
        g = 0.0f;
        b = x;
    }
    return new Color(r, g, b);
}

我们只需要一个RGB三联体对的范围，这些三联体之间的距离最大。

我们可以定义一个简单的线性渐变，然后调整渐变的大小以获得所需的颜色数量。

在python中:

from skimage.transform import resize
import numpy as np
def distinguishable_colors(n, shuffle = True, 
                           sinusoidal = False,
                           oscillate_tone = False): 
    ramp = ([1, 0, 0],[1,1,0],[0,1,0],[0,0,1], [1,0,1]) if n>3 else ([1,0,0], [0,1,0],[0,0,1])
    
    coltrio = np.vstack(ramp)
    
    colmap = np.round(resize(coltrio, [n,3], preserve_range=True, 
                             order = 1 if n>3 else 3
                             , mode = 'wrap'),3)
    
    if sinusoidal: colmap = np.sin(colmap*np.pi/2)
    
    colmap = [colmap[x,] for x  in range(colmap.shape[0])]
    
    if oscillate_tone:
        oscillate = [0,1]*round(len(colmap)/2+.5)
        oscillate = [np.array([osc,osc,osc]) for osc in oscillate]
        colmap = [.8*colmap[x] + .2*oscillate[x] for x in range(len(colmap))]
    
    #Whether to shuffle the output colors
    if shuffle:
        random.seed(1)
        random.shuffle(colmap)
        
    return colmap

如果N足够大，你会得到一些相似的颜色。世界上只有这么多。

为什么不把它们均匀地分布在光谱中，像这样:

IEnumerable<Color> CreateUniqueColors(int nColors)
{
    int subdivision = (int)Math.Floor(Math.Pow(nColors, 1/3d));
    for(int r = 0; r < 255; r += subdivision)
        for(int g = 0; g < 255; g += subdivision)
            for(int b = 0; b < 255; b += subdivision)
                yield return Color.FromArgb(r, g, b);
}

如果您想混合序列，以便相似的颜色不在彼此旁边，您可能会打乱结果列表。

是我想得不够周全吗?

这个问题出现在相当多的SO讨论中:

生成独特颜色的算法生成独特的颜色在图形中生成明显不同的RGB颜色如何为任意自然数n生成n种不同的颜色?

提出了不同的解决方案，但没有一个是最优的。幸运的是，科学来拯救我们

任意N

彩色显示分类图像(免费下载) 一个个性化地图着色的网络服务(免费下载，一个网络服务解决方案应该在下个月可用) 选择高对比度颜色集的算法(作者提供了一个免费的c++实现) 高对比度的颜色集(问题的第一个算法)

最后两本将通过大多数大学图书馆/代理免费提供。

N是有限且相对较小的

在这种情况下，可以使用列表解决方案。关于这个主题，有一篇非常有趣的文章是免费的:

《彩色字母表和彩色编码的局限性》

有几个颜色列表可以考虑:

Boynton列出了11种几乎不会被混淆的颜色(可在前一节的第一篇论文中找到) Kelly的22种最大对比度的颜色(可以在上面的论文中找到)

我还遇到了一个麻省理工学院学生的这个调色板。最后，下面的链接在不同颜色系统/坐标之间的转换可能是有用的(例如，文章中的一些颜色没有在RGB中指定):

对于Kelly和Boynton的列表，我已经将其转换为RGB(除了白色和黑色，这应该很明显)。一些c#代码:

对于Python用户来说，seaborn非常简洁:

>>> import seaborn as sns
>>> sns.color_palette(n_colors=4)

它返回RGB元组列表:

[(0.12156862745098039, 0.4666666666666667, 0.7058823529411765),
(1.0, 0.4980392156862745, 0.054901960784313725),
(0.17254901960784313, 0.6274509803921569, 0.17254901960784313),

您可以使用HSL颜色模型来创建颜色。

如果你想要的只是不同的色调(可能)，以及亮度或饱和度的轻微变化，你可以像这样分配色调:

// assumes hue [0, 360), saturation [0, 100), lightness [0, 100)

for(i = 0; i < 360; i += 360 / num_colors) {
    HSLColor c;
    c.hue = i;
    c.saturation = 90 + randf() * 10;
    c.lightness = 50 + randf() * 10;

    addColor(c);
}

为了子孙后代，我在这里添加了Python中公认的答案。

import numpy as np
import colorsys

def _get_colors(num_colors):
    colors=[]
    for i in np.arange(0., 360., 360. / num_colors):
        hue = i/360.
        lightness = (50 + np.random.rand() * 10)/100.
        saturation = (90 + np.random.rand() * 10)/100.
        colors.append(colorsys.hls_to_rgb(hue, lightness, saturation))
    return colors
