https://tex.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=560421

I'm trying to reproduce this illustration of a high entropy alloy (HEA) in TikZ: 
What I have so far looks quite bland because I can't find a way to randomly assign one out of a list of colors.

6.49.1.4 Extract a list of distinct values from another list (remove dupes)

https://tex.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=560392

Suppose I have a list defined via \def\zList{0,0,1,1,1,2,2,10}. 
How can I obtain a (comma-separated) list 0,1,2,10 that contains the unique/distinct values in 0,0,1,1,1,2,2,10? 
Is there perhaps a way ...

6.49.1.5 latex3 use function by name

https://tex.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=560769

I have several functions defined by similar way, and they will be used later by the name base + argument. 
I do not find \cs_use:c, but there is \use:c and \cs_if_exist_use:c. Is this the correct way ...

6.49.1.7 Obtaining a matrix from GAP directly in TeX

https://tex.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=560712

In GAP one obtains a matrix in the following way as an output: 
[ [ 0, 0, 0, 1 ], [ 0, 0, 1, 0 ], [ 0, 1, 0, 0 ], [ 1, 0, 0, 0 ] ] 
This matrix is given as a list of lists (which are the row vectors).
