Solution 1:

The random module should help.

import randomrandom.sample(cnames, 6)   #random.sample returns unique list of random choice. 

random.sample(range(len(cnames)), 6)#to get random int representing a number between 0andlen(cnames)

Output:

[' gray ', ' pink ', 'purple ', ' blue ', ' orange ', ' green ']
