The same input always produces the same color output, making it useful for UI elements like user avatars or category labels where visual consistency matters. The library supports Python 3.8 through 3.15 and has zero runtime dependencies, keeping it simple to integrate.\n\nYou control the output by adjusting hue range (min_h to max_h), saturation levels, and lightness levels. The library picks deterministically from the ranges you provide, so you can create narrow color palettes or wide variety depending on your needs. The core API is straightforward: instantiate ColorHash with an object and optional parameters, then access the .hsl, .rgb, or .hex properties.","worth_installing":"Yes. Zero dependencies, active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, and a permissive MIT license make this a low-risk addition. Install it if you need deterministic color mapping for UI consistency; the API is minimal and the library does one thing well."},"id":"colorhash","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/colorhash","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/colorhash.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/colorhash/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"colorhash","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Generate color based on any object"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":384160,"position":7069,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.3.0"}
