I must say that this is a really odd way of doing it. It kind of works but there aren't very many colors available. XOR of the first two colors makes no distinction of order so there are just combinations of letters. A simple addition I did to increase the number of colors was var seed = 0; for (var i in input_str) { seed ^= i; }

Yes, it really depends how many colours you'd like to generate. I recall in this instance I was creating different panes in a UI and wanted a limited number of colours rather than a rainbow :)
