A small Python script to generate random color sequences, e.g. for use in plotting. Just call the "generate_new_color(existing_colors,pastel_factor)" function to generate a random color that is (statistically) maximally different from all colors in "existing_colors". The "pastel_factor" parameter can be used to specify the "pasteliness"(?) of th…
