An example of building up RGB values #onmedium

example1.py

for i,letter in enumerate(letters):
            # Only three numbers needed for RGB so use the first three values as a base
            # eg: [10, 4, 21]
            n = 255.0 / 26.0 # make sure we don't get a value above 255. (z = 26. 25 *10 = 260 but 26 * 9.8 = 248
            if i < 3:
                # add the first three values to a new list (number)
                letterPosition = alphabet.index(letter) * n # *n here to force a good large number base
                number.append(letterPosition)
            # Use the remaining values to fine tune the first three we have so it will be a better variant
            elif i >= 3 and i < 6:
                letterPosition = alphabet.index(letter) * n / 26 # /26 here to get a smaller number to add (we don't want (20*10 + 20*10))
                number.append(letterPosition)
            # For words above six letter, add a further division so we can keep adding values and never reach above 255,
            elif i >= 6:
                letterPosition = alphabet.index(letter) * n / 26 / 26 # /26/26 to get even smaller numbers probably overkill but it makes sense mathematically.
                number.append(letterPosition)
