Random numbers generated by computers are not truly random, but rather pseudo-random. They are produced by algorithms that, while appearing random, are deterministic and predictable. This means the same algorithm will generate the same sequence of numbers if given the same starting conditions.
In random number generation, a seed is a starting number used to initialize a random number generator (RNG). It's essentially a point within a predetermined sequence of "random" numbers where the generator starts producing values.

How to
Feed in a number to the seed
This could be the a numeric result of another node
Or, you can use a number node
Or, you can type numbers into the box
If you need to process multiple numbers in a list, use the map node
The result is a randomized hex value representing a color
A hexadecimal color is specified with: #RRGGBB, where the RR (red), GG (green) and BB (blue) hexadecimal integers specify the components of the color.
