Similar to python, is there anyway to generate unique hexa colour code in julia to use in Networkx (using pycall?  
python code is like this,

for j in range(5):  
rand\_colors = [“#”+" ".join([random.choice(“ABCDEF0123456789”) for i in range(6)])]

Direct translation of python code:

```julia
julia> [( "#" * join(rand("ABCDEF0123456789", 6)) ) for _ in 1:5]
5-element Vector{String}:
 "#1DF4F5"
 "#06B8BB"
 "#D51E54"
 "#F27A78"
 "#90E782"

```
