Generated User Names by Color

Generated User Names by Color

Good for: demo purposes or seeding a small group of assignable user names/avatars.

I came across a need for a set of neutral generated user names. Pulling them out of a gender-neutral name dictionary was pretty lame. I also wanted some form of distinguishable avatar. This led to looking at a list of web-friendly color names.
