How to generate random 'greenish' colors

Question

Anyone have any suggestions on how to make randomized colors that are all greenish? Right now I\'m generating the colors by this:

color = (randint(100, 200),         


        

Answer 1

I'd go with with the HSV approach everyone else mentioned. Another approach would be to get a nice high resolution photo which some greenery in it, crop out the non-green parts, and pick random pixels from it using PIL.

Answer 2

So in this case you are lucky enough to want variations on a primary color, but for artistic uses like this it is better to specify color wheel coordinates rather than primary color magnitudes.

You probably want something from the colorsys module like:

colorsys.hsv_to_rgb(h, s, v)
    Convert the color from HSV coordinates to RGB coordinates.

Answer 3

The simplest way to do this is to make sure that the red and blue components are the same, like this: (Forgive my Python)

rb = randint(100, 200)
color = (rb, randint(120, 255), rb)
