This is a port of the randomColor.js script created by David Merfield.
RandomColor generates attractive colors by default. More specifically, RandomColor produces bright colors with a reasonably high saturation. This makes randomColor particularly useful for data visualizations and generative art.

Once you have included RandomColor.class.php on your app, calling RandomColor::one($options)
or RandomColor::many($count, $options)
will return a random attractive color. Beneath is the live output of 36 generations.
RandomColor::many(36);
You can also pass an options object to randomColor. This allows you to specify the hue, luminosity and the format of colors to generate.
