Features
Deterministic HSL colours from UUIDs (or any string).
- same input → same colour.
- returns Flutter
Color/HSLColor. - control saturation, lightness and brand‑hue avoidance.
Basic use
import 'package:uuid_to_hsl/uuid_to_hsl.dart';
const generator = UuidToHsl();
final color = generator.colorFromUuid(someUuid); // Flutter Color
final hsl = generator.hslColorFromUuid(someUuid); // HSLColor
final hue = generator.getHueFromUuid(someUuid); // double 0–360
final sat = generator.getSatFromUuid(someUuid); // double 0–1
final light = generator.getLightFromUuid(someUuid); // double 0–1
Configuration
const generator = UuidToHsl(
brandHue: 170,
avoidDeg: 30,
sMin: 0.5,
sMax: 0.7,
lMin: 0.45,
lMax: 0.65,
);
brandHue/avoidDeg avoid a specific hue band; sMin/sMax/lMin/lMax set saturation/lightness ranges.
Example app & colour distribution
Flutter example in example/:
- Grid of UUID‑based colours with tooltips.
- Export current grid as PNG + CSV.
It should produce a fairly uniform distribution over the hue circle. An example of 300 generated colours:

Legacy (0.0.1) API
final color = UuidToHsl.getColorFromUUID(uuid);
final hsl = UuidToHsl.getHSLColorFromUUID(
uuid,
0.7,
0.8,
0.9,
);
These static methods are deprecated and keep the original 0.0.1 behaviour - same colours will be generated.
