How to randomly receive a Material Design Color?

Question

Google has their Color - Guidelines, so how to randomly receive a color? Is there a way to specify a number from the table and receive a random color out of all colors of the ta

Answer 1

Using reflection you can retrieve all java.awt.Color constants, some 148 colors with names

for (Field field : Color.class.getDeclaredFields()) {
    int modifiers = field.getModifiers();
    if (Modifier.isPublic(modifiers) && Modifier.isStatic(modifiers)
            && Modifier.isFinal(modifiers) && field.getType() == Color.class) {
        String colorName = field.getName().toLowerCase(Locale.US);
        Color color = Color.valueOf(colorName);
        System.out.printf("- %s -> %s%n", colorName, color);
    }
}

This uses reflection, and assumes that the constant name is a human readable name.

[139] thistle -> 0xd8bfd8ff
[140] tomato -> 0xff6347ff
[141] turquoise -> 0x40e0d0ff
[142] violet -> 0xee82eeff
[143] wheat -> 0xf5deb3ff
[144] white -> 0xffffffff
[145] whitesmoke -> 0xf5f5f5ff
[146] yellow -> 0xffff00ff
[147] yellowgreen -> 0x9acd32ff

So add the colors in a list, and randomly pick one with random.nextInt(colors.size()).
