Random Color Generator — Get a Random Hex Color
Generate a random hex, RGB and HSL colour. Lock channels, build a 5-colour palette, and copy codes instantly.
Using a random colour generator well
Designers reach for a random colour generator most often when starting from a blank page — generating a handful of options is faster than staring at a colour wheel deciding where to begin. Locking one channel while randomising the others is the most useful workflow: lock lightness to keep a set of colours consistently light or dark, or lock hue to explore every shade within one colour family.
The palette generator builds five colours around one random base using standard colour-harmony relationships, which is a reasonable starting point for a UI theme, a poster, or a quick brand exploration — treat it as a starting point to refine, not a finished palette.
For a completely different kind of random pick, the spin wheel handles named options, and the random number generator covers any numeric range you need.
Random Color Generator FAQ
How is the random colour generated?
Each colour is built from a random hue, saturation and lightness value using the browser’s cryptographic random generator, then converted to hex and RGB for display. Saturation and lightness are kept in a mid-range by default so colours stay usable rather than washed out or overly dark.
What does locking a channel do?
Locking hue, saturation or lightness keeps that value fixed while the others still randomise on the next generate. Lock hue to explore different shades of the same colour family, or lock lightness to generate several colours of similar brightness for a consistent palette.
How does the palette generator work?
It builds five colours from one random base hue using standard colour-harmony offsets — including a complementary colour and two analogous pairs — so the resulting set looks intentional rather than random noise.
Can I copy the hex code with one click?
Yes, click the hex, RGB or HSL value to copy it to your clipboard, or use "Copy all hex codes" after generating a palette to copy every colour in the set at once.
What can I use this for?
Picking an accent colour for a design, generating placeholder colours for a mockup, finding inspiration for a brand palette, or settling a "what colour should we paint this" argument at random.
