Generating an open-ended stream of distinct colors

[internalfx]

Yeah, the infinity was meant to convey that I have no real limit on the number of colors.

A stream of distinct colors is much harder....

If I generate 8 colors, and then you ask for 9. I can't just create a new color. I need to change the previous 8 too. Because I generate a palette where the colors are as evenly spaced as possible.

So, at least in this case.....it will not work as a stream. (at least not very well)

I understand it won't work with the library as is. The idea is for each color in the stream to be maximally different from all the colors that came before it. Anyway, it's probably an altogether different mathematical problem, but it couldn't hurt to ask.
