(2) Convert the integer into an HSV color with reasonable bounds for a background color (3) Convert the HSV color into an RGB color There are opportunities for improvement in the hash algorithm and by tweaking parameters in the HSV color selection. Suggestions are welcomed. -- D. Richard Hipp [email protected]
