randomcolor-cpp

A port of https://github.com/davidmerfield/randomColor (8f970a) to C++.

Tested on VC++ 2013.

Color blind test using tools from http://colororacle.org/

Usage for wxWidgets framework

    wxColor RandomColor() {
        auto r = ColorGeneratorNormal();
        return wxColor(std::get<0>(r), std::get<1>(r), std::get<2>(r));
    }

Examples

Normal

Deuteranopia Friendly

Limitations

Only generates RGB format color
