Random Color Generator
Generate a random colour with its code.
A colour by chance
This generates a random colour and gives its code, for inspiration, testing, or breaking out of the same few colours you always reach for. It offers a shade you would not have chosen deliberately.

Randomness as a creative jolt
A random colour is more useful than it sounds. As inspiration, it can push you toward an unexpected shade that turns out to work beautifully, jolting you out of the palette you habitually default to. For development and testing, a random colour quickly distinguishes elements or fills a placeholder. The thing to remember is that a purely random colour has no relationship to any other, so while one makes a fine seed, a whole design built from independent random colours becomes the chaos of a palette with no structure. The productive way to use it is as a starting point — generate a colour you like, then build a coordinated palette of shades and complementary colours around it. Used that way, randomness supplies the spark of an unexpected direction, which is often exactly what a stuck creative choice needs.
Random Color Generator FAQ
What is a random colour good for?
Creative inspiration when stuck in a habitual palette, and quickly distinguishing elements or filling placeholders while building.
Should I build a whole design from random colours?
No — they have no relationship to each other, so use one as a seed and build a coordinated palette around it instead of piling random colours together.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The colours are generated in your browser.
