Love this, except seeing whatever avatar the user actually chose to represent him/hetself gives info about who were dealing with. When that sexy babe I've never heard of suddenly says hello, I know it's not real.
A good side of this npub generated avatar is that it makes it hard for stupid accounts to use another's profile image.

# Profile Colors

A proposal for pubkey-derived colors that can be used as unique profile colors.

This simple spec is optimized for the usability and readability of the colors in actual UIs: as text (profile name), as backgrounds, as indicator dots, as borders, etc.

Works in dark, grey, sepia, ivory, light, etc. modes.

## Color Derivation

1. Convert HEX pubkey to integer
2. Calculate Hue: `integer % 360`
3. Set Saturation to 70%
4. Set Value/Brightness based on Hue:
- 75% for Hue 32–204
- 96% for Hue 216–273
- 90% otherwise
5. Convert HSV to RGB

## Text Adjustment

When using the profile color for text (author names, mentions, etc.), adjust brightness for readability:

- **Dark mode**: increase brightness by 8%
- **Light mode**: decrease brightness by 5%
