How to use Text to Color Hash

Type any text and a repeatable color is derived from its hash, shown as a swatch with its HEX value to copy.

Frequently asked questions

How is the color generated?

The text is hashed and the resulting number is mapped to a HEX color, so identical text always yields the same color.

What is a color hash used for?

Assigning consistent colors to usernames, tags, avatars and categories without storing a color for each one.

Will the same text always give the same color?

Yes — the mapping is deterministic, so the same string produces an identical color every time.
