Random Font Colors

Question

I need to color text with 2 or 3 random colors. How can I do this in PHP or JavaScript?

Answer 1

$color = str_pad(sprintf("%x%x%x", rand(0,255), rand(0,255), rand(0,255)),6,rand(0,9));
echo '<span style="color:'.$color.'">Random Color</span>';

Provides random #<Red><green><blue> color

Answer 2

This should do the trick:

function getRandomColour() {
    return 'red';      // chosen by fair dice roll
                       // guaranteed to be random
}
