• Take in arbitrary input and return a deterministic color

• Color chosen can be limited in several ways:

  • only visually / noticibly distinct colors to choose from
  • Color exclusions
    • dynamic color exclusions (optional terminal context)
  • colors within different terminal support classes (i.e. term-256)

• Offer to return Hex codes (6 digits or 3)

• Offer to return ascii escape codes

• If the input is text, offer to wrap the input text and return the output as a string

1. take input as bytes
2. hash the input
3. use modulo against the sum to choose the color to return from the subset of colors selected.
