# Random Color

[![PHP version](https://badge.fury.io/ph/mistic100%2Frandomcolor.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/ph/mistic100%2Frandomcolor)

For generating attractive random colors. 

This is a PHP port of David Merfield [randomColor](https://github.com/davidmerfield/randomColor) Javascript utility.

See the results on [the demo](http://www.strangeplanet.fr/work/RandomColor.php).

### Options

You can pass an options object to influence the type of color it produces. The options object accepts the following properties:

**hue** – Controls the hue of the generated color. You can pass a string representing a color name (e.g. 'orange'). Possible color names are *red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink and monochrome*. You can also pass an array of multiple hues or a specific hue (0 to 360).

**luminosity** – Controls the luminosity of the generated color. You can pass a string containing *bright, light or dark*.

**alpha** – A decimal between 0 and 1. Only relevant when using a format with an alpha channel. Defaults to a random value.

**format** – A string which specifies the format of the generated color. Possible values are *hsv, hsl, hslCss, rgb, rgbCss, hex* and their alpha variants *hsva, hsla, hlsaCss, rgba, rgbaCss, hexa*. Defaults to *hex*.

**prng** – A random (or not) number generator. `mt_rand` is used as default one.

### Examples

```php

use \Colors\RandomColor;

// Returns a hex code for an attractive color
RandomColor::one(); 

// Returns an array of ten green colors
RandomColor::many(10, array(
   'hue' => 'green',
));

// Returns a hex code for a light blue
RandomColor::one(array(
   'luminosity' => 'light',
   'hue' => 'blue',
));

// Returns one yellow or blue color
RandomColors::one(array(
    'hue' => array('yellow', 'blue'),
));

// Returns a hex code for a 'truly random' color
RandomColor::one(array(
   'luminosity' => 'random',
   'hue' => 'random',
));

// Returns a bright color in RGB
RandomColor::one(array(
   'luminosity' => 'bright',
   'format' => 'rgbCss', // e.g. 'rgb(225,200,20)'
));

// Returns a RGB color with random alpha
RandomColor::one(array(
   'format': 'rgbaCss', // e.g. 'rgba(9, 1, 107, 0.648)'
));

// Returns an hex color with specified alpha
RandomColor::one(array(
   'format': 'hexa',
   'alpha': 0.5, // e.g.: #c17d3480
));
```
