What is your name in color?

in #python6 years ago (edited)

Using the magic of computers we can turn your name into a series of colours!

There's a lot of data in a string, bet you didn't even realize your name has it's very own, unique colour?

To get a colour from your name, we have to convert each digit to binary, and from binary to hexadecimal, here's a chart below to make things easier:

  • Use capitals, spaces and hyphens to make the colours more varied.

You should end up with something like this:
54697379676F626F6F6D

  • Split the string after every 6 characters and add a hash in front of the new block, and fill in the last block with whatever you want, (I've used 00s):

#546973 #79676F #626F6F #6D0000

  • Search google for the hex colour:


If you're more technically inclined...

I've written a python script which can do all the hard work for you!
