This is a port of the randomColor.js script created by David Merfield.
RandomColor generates attractive colors by default. More specifically, RandomColor produces bright colors with a reasonably high saturation. This makes randomColor particularly useful for data visualizations and generative art.

Once you have included RandomColor.class.php on your app, calling RandomColor::one($options)
or RandomColor::many($count, $options)
will return a random attractive color. Beneath is the live output of 36 generations.
RandomColor::many(36);
You can also pass an options object to randomColor. This allows you to specify the hue, luminosity and the format of colors to generate.
RandomColor::one(array('format'=>'hex')); // "#c91489" RandomColor::one(array('format'=>'hsv')); // array('h'=>321,'s'=>90,'v'=>79) RandomColor::one(array('format'=>'hsl')); // array('h'=>321,'s'=>81.82000000000001,'l'=>43.45) RandomColor::one(array('format'=>'rgb')); // array('r'=>201.0,'g'=>20.0,'b'=>137.0) RandomColor::one(array('format'=>'hslCss')); // "hsl(321,81.82%,43.45%)" RandomColor::one(array('format'=>'rgbCss')); // "rgb(201,20,137)"
