hubot color purple will display messages in Slack with the hex and RGB color codes for the given color. Pass it color names, hex values, RGB values, and other formats. Uses TinyColor for parsing.
hubot colors will generate random colors for you. You can pass a number up to 6 to generate that many colors, e.g., hubot colors 3. You can also pass one of green, blue, random, red, orange, yellow, purple, pink, or monochrome to generate specific kinds of colors, e.g., hubot colors pink
