Random Color Generator: what to know

The random color generator picks a color from all 16,777,216 colors a hex code can describe, using your browser's random number generator. Every click gives you a new color with its hex, RGB, HSL and CMYK codes, the nearest CSS color name and the text color (black or white) that reads best on top of it.

Random colors are useful when you're stuck: they push you toward combinations you wouldn't have chosen. If you like one, open it in the palette generator to build a full scheme around it, or send it to the shades generator for lighter and darker versions.

Because the colors are uniform across RGB, many come out mid-tone and fairly saturated, while very pale and very dark colors are rarer. That's a property of the RGB cube, not a bias in the generator.

Popular uses

  • Breaking a creative block with an unexpected color
  • Placeholder colors for wireframes and mockups
  • Picking team, player or category colors fairly
  • Testing that a design still works with any accent color

Tips for the best result

  • Generate a few in a row and keep the ones that spark an idea.
  • Use the nearest color name to talk about a color without quoting a hex code.
  • If a random color is too loud, take a tone of it from the shades generator.
