COMBINE MACRO CODES

I downloaded a macro called Colorize from here

that is used on assemblies, and a macro called Psychedelic Colors from here which is used on parts. I want to make the Colorize macro use the random colors that the Psychedelic macro uses, because the Colorize macro does not have an extreme enough color scheme for me. I guess I need more contrast. I am not an experienced enough Solidworks user to pull this off. Can anyone help me? If so, I have included the code for both macros below for quick reference. Any help that you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
