Random Color Generator
Generate random colours for inspiration or testing, with their codes.
A colour out of nowhere
Sometimes you want a colour without deciding on one — for inspiration, to break a creative block, or to fill a placeholder while building. This generates random colours with their codes, so you can stumble onto a shade you would not have chosen deliberately.
Generate a random colour and copy its code.
Randomness as a starting point
Random colour is more useful than it sounds. As inspiration, it can jolt you out of the same few colours you always reach for and toward something unexpected that works. For testing and development, a random colour is a quick way to distinguish elements or fill a placeholder. The thing to remember is that a purely random colour has no relationship to any other, so while one can be a lovely starting point, building a whole design from independent random colours produces the chaos of a palette with no structure. Use a random colour as a seed, then build a coordinated palette around it rather than piling random colours together.
Frequently asked questions
What is random colour good for?
Breaking a creative rut with an unexpected shade, or quickly filling a placeholder and distinguishing elements while building.
Should I build a whole palette from random colours?
No — random colours have no relationship to each other, so use one as a seed and build a coordinated palette around it instead.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The colours are generated in your browser.
