I want to generate an array of 200 paths with varying (random) lengths..... I can easily generate the 200 paths. I'm struggling to find a method or tool to randomize the path lengths.

Edit for cl...
(Working in Adobe Photoshop 2023) I'm working with hexagons and went to the trouble of making a pixel perfect grid of guidelines so that I can quickly align my layers as needed (necessary with hexagons due to that pesky square root of 3 in their ratio).

Expectation I expect a colour to look different on one display to another, due to hardware differences. I expect that my OS (Windows 11) can compensate for this difference in software, with the use of Colour Profiles. This compensation should then mean that colours match to the human eye as closely as possible, between...
