I'd like to represent strings as arbitrary html colors.Example:"blah blah" = #FFCC00
"foo foo 2" = #565656It doesn't matter what the actual color code is, so long as it's a valid hexadecimal HTML color code and the whole spectrum is fairly well represented.I guess the first step would be to do an MD5 on the string and then somehow convert that to hexadecimal color code?Update: Usage example is to generate a visual report of file requests on a server. The colors don't have to look pretty, it's more so a human brain can detect patterns, etc in the data more readily.
