Weekend Project - Rustoleum Spray Paint Hex Code Scraper

Last winter, I started experimenting with HTML 5 Canvas to see what sort of image manipulations I could do in browser. Suprisingly, a lot could be done. It was pretty exciting to tinker with. I've been doing dev for a long time and it's really hard any more to get me really excited about new programming things. I'll post more on this later.

I do a lot of multilayer stencil artwork, and one of my experiments was to quantize an image to colors of Rustoleum Painter's Touch 2x I have in the garage. While going down this path, I discovered that Home Depot's lists the hexadecimal color codes for a lot of their spray paint. I manually copy/pasted the hex codes from their site to build my palette. However, I've been meaning to write a script to do it.

Between shovelling sessions, I decided to take a stab at it with node. After only a few hours, I had a simple script to scrape the product page, extract the color name, the hexcode, and the finish and store it into a json file. 
Neat! As it sits, there are 43 colors in the json database. More to come.
