Create an array of colors (about 100) in JavaScript, but the colors must be quite distinct

Question

I want to create an array of colors in javascript, for that, I used the js file rainbowvis.js here, I have 100 colors, but they are not really distinct.

I should be able to see the difference because I will use this table to a chart.

Is it possible with rainbowvis.js or is there an other solution?

Answer 1

To generate 100 colors (each color from 1 to 1000000 - change it if you need other range):

var colors = [];
while (colors.length < 100) {
    do {
        var color = Math.floor((Math.random()*1000000)+1);
    } while (colors.indexOf(color) >= 0);
    colors.push("#" + ("000000" + color.toString(16)).slice(-6));
}
console.log(colors);
