A little late to the party here...stumbled across your question and thought I'd share something I created recently that will do a similar thing.
This script will create a solid color layer with a random color from a series of pre-selected hex codes...so the idea is you populate the array with hex vals for colors you want it to choose from and then it'll randomly pick one of those colors for each iteration of the loop.
The loop is determined by 'n'. Change the value of n to however many files you want it to create and that's it; hit play and walk away
Code: Select all
var currentRulers = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.INCHES;
// SAVE PATH
var rootFolder = new Folder(Folder.desktop + "/Solid Colors");
// CREATE SAVE PATH IF IT DOESN'T EXIST
if (!rootFolder.exists) {
rootFolder.create()
}
// RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR
function rando(min, max) {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1) ) + min;
}
// SAVE AS A TIFF
function saveTiff(savePath, newName) {
var activeDoc = app.activeDocument;
var w = activeDoc.width.value
var h = activeDoc.height.value
var revWidth = (Math.floor(w)).toString();
var revHeight = (Math.floor(h)).toString();
var saveOpts = new TiffSaveOptions();
saveOpts.alphaChannels = false;
saveOpts.interleaveChannels = true;
saveOpts.imageCompression = TIFFEncoding.TIFFLZW;
activeDoc.saveAs(new File(savePath + "/" + newName + " " + revWidth + "x" + revHeight + ".tif"), saveOpts);
activeDoc.close();
}
var n = 10; // CHANGE N TO THE NUMBER OF FILES YOU WANT THE SCRIPT TO CREATE
var masterWidth = 5; // SET YOUR DOCUMENT WIDTH
var masterHeight = 5; // SET YOUR DOCUMENT HEIGHT
var masterRes = 300; // SET YOUR DOCUMENT RESOLUTION
// ADD MORE HEX CODES TO INCLUDE DIFFERENT COLORS
var hexVals = [
"dcb149", //mustard yellow
"e8d279", //canary yellow
"bd6124", //light orange
"c53c12", //orange red
"991a1a", //dk red

]
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
var h = rando(0, (hexVals.length - 1));
app.foregroundColor.rgb.hexValue = hexVals[h];
//alert(app.foregroundColor.rgb.hexValue)
app.documents.add(masterWidth, masterHeight, masterRes, "Untitled " + i, NewDocumentMode.RGB, DocumentFill.WHITE);
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var colorLayer = doc.artLayers.add();
app.activeLayer = colorLayer;
doc.selection.selectAll();
doc.selection.fill(app.foregroundColor);
colorLayer.move(doc.backgroundLayer, ElementPlacement.PLACEBEFORE);
saveTiff(rootFolder, "Solid Color " + i)
}
app.preferences.rulerUnits = currentRulers;
