Bright Colors

How can I modify color(random(255),random(255),random(255)) to only return bright colors that work well on a black background?

Thanks!

this is easier using HSB mode and keeping the saturation and brightness values high.

http://processing.org/reference/colorMode_.html

(basically aiming for the bottom of that second image where H is random (the actual colour), S is > 50 and B = 100)

i like pastel colours though, which is just a case of changing all your randoms to random(128, 255)

(note to self - linking to the local copy of your reference is no use to anybody else... fixed now)
