Distinct Colors

This is a complete rewrite of (but is heavily inspired by) Mathieu Jacomy's Palette Generator

I have taken the ideas and the theories, and put them into a simple modular library. I have also optimized it for speed.

This library generates a palette of visually distinct colors, and returns an array of chroma-js objects.

distinct-colors is highly configurable:

• Choose how many colors are in the palette
• Restrict the hue to a specific range
• Restrict the chroma (saturation) to a specific range
• Restrict the lightness to a specific range
• Configure general quality of the palette

To get an example of how to use this (and what it produces), check out I want hue.
