Give a hex color to a string so that a string similar to another string will get a similar color

Question

I have a list of multiple strings, I want to get a hex color (like hash) for each string so that similar string will get similar colors.

Example:

• "read register 1" -> #242fff
• "read register 2" -> #242fa5
• "print hello" -> #990000
• "read reg 2" -> #245fb0
• "print hello world" -> #990033

(I will use it to color excel rows, so HSV will not fit this question...)

Any ideas anyone?

thanks!
