Random Color Generator
Welcome to our Random Color Generator tool, a simple yet powerful resource for anyone who loves colors and needs a fresh dose of inspiration. This tool is a breeze to use, delivering truly random colors or random colors with specific properties at the click of a button. Whether you're a professional designer, a DIY enthusiast, or just looking for a new color theme for your space, this tool will provide you with an exciting range of random colors to help spark your creativity.
Not only can our tool produce truly random colors, but it also allows you to specify color characteristics like light, dark, warm, or cool shades. This means you have control over the mood and tone of the colors generated, whether you need something soothing for a relaxation area, or vibrant for a stimulating workspace.
If you're after a more specific color palette, our tool can cater to that as well: from true grays and tinted grays to playful pastels, vibrant hues, electrifying neons, and subdued muted colors, you'll find a spectrum of possibilities here. You can also zero in on a specific color hue - red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, or violet, and our tool will generate an array of shades with that hue.
What does "truly random color" mean?
"Truly random color" refers to a color that is generated without any constraints. It could be any color from the full sRGB color space.
How are random colors of a particular type generated?
Our tool generates random colors of a particular type by constraining the color generation process to a specific range of Hue, Saturation, and Lightness values in the OKHSL color space. For example, if you select "Light" as the color type, our tool will generate a random Hue from the full range (because a light color can have any hue), but will constrain the Saturation and Lightness values to the range of 50% to 100% and 80% to 100% respectively (because a light color has a high saturation and very high lightness).
The following table contains the ranges of Hue, Saturation, and Lightness values for each random color type:
| Mode | Hue Range | Saturation Range | Lightness Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Truly Random | Full Range | Full Range | Full Range |
| Light | Full Range | 50% - 100% | 80% - 100% |
| Dark | Full Range | 50% - 100% | 0% - 30% |
| Warm | 20° - 60° | 70% - 100% | 30% - 70% |
| Cool | 180° - 260° | 70% - 100% | 30% - 70% |
| Gray | Full Range | 0% | Full Range |
| Tinted Gray | Full Range | 2% - 10% | Full Range |
| Pastel | Full Range | 30% - 70% | 70% - 90% |
| Vibrant | Full Range | 70% - 100% | 30% - 70% |
| Neon | Full Range | 70% - 100% | 50% - 100% |
| Muted | Full Range | 10% - 40% | 30% - 60% |
| Red | 15° - 35° | 70% - 100% | 30% - 70% |
| Orange | 35° - 60° | 70% - 100% | 30% - 70% |
| Yellow | 85° - 105° | 70% - 100% | 80% - 90% |
| Green | 120° - 180° | 70% - 100% | 30% - 70% |
| Cyan | 180° - 210° | 70% - 100% | 30% - 80% |
| Blue | 210° - 260° | 70% - 100% | 30% - 70% |
| Violet | 280° - 330° | 70% - 100% | 30% - 70% |
Can I generate multiple random colors at the same time? Is there a limit to how many colors I can generate?
Our tool lets you generate up to 1,000 colors at a time. By default our tool generates 6 colors, but you can change this by changing this value in the "Number of Colors" field. If you need more than that, you can simply click on the "Generate" button again to generate another batch of colors.
Can I save the colors that I generate?
Yes, you can! After generating the colors you like, simply click on one of the three buttons labelled "Hex", "RGB", and "HSL" next to "Download All Colors" above to save the colors in that format in a text file. You can then open the file in your favorite text editor or spreadsheet program.
Is it possible to save my favorite generated colors for future use?
Currently, the only way to save your favorite colors is to download them using the method described above. We are working on a feature that will allow you to save your favorite colors in your browser, so stay tuned!
Can I tweak the generated colors further?
Yes, you can! If you want to tweak the colors further, you can use our Color Picker. Simply copy the hex code of the color you want to tweak, paste it into the Color Picker, and adjust the color to your liking.
