+## The Plan
+- Take an arbitrary UTF-8 string
+- Generate an RGB or RGBA color code for it in a deterministic way
+	- SHA1 the string
+	- Interpret equally sized chunks of the hash as integers
+	- Scale those integers into an 8-bit space
+## The Implementation
+## The Results
+Below is a sample of the "lorum ipsum" text with each word colored using this algorithm.
+
+<p><span style="color:#FDC749;">Lorem</span> <span style="color:#D39A85;">ipsum</span> <span style="color:#452D59;">dolor</span> <span style="color:#3A852F;">sit</span> <span style="color:#0454D4;">amet</span>, <span style="color:#886B09;">consectetur</span> <span style="color:#31A0E5;">adipiscing</span> <span style="color:#99215D;">elit</span>. </p>

+
+## Possible Improvements
+- Provide HSV or HSL color values
+- Light/dark mode awareness
+- Accessibility. The colors chosen are effectively random with no regard for color schemes, background, display device capability
