Random color generator
Roll a single random HEX or a five-stop triadic palette when you are stuck on a hero background, game jam theme, or placeholder brand. Nothing uploads — refresh until something sparks a direction.
Why this tool exists
Blank-canvas paralysis is real. Randomness breaks habit loops. Locking a palette (not just one color) gives you enough contrast to sketch UI without pretending the first roll is final brand.
How to use it
- Hit Random color for one swatch with a copy chip.
- Hit Random palette (5) for a triadic-style row you can refine.
- Copy HEX values into the palette generator or tint & shade tool for ramps.
- Run the contrast checker once you pick text colors.
Use a different tool when…
You have strict brand guidelines with approved HEX lists — randomness will fight your governance.
Practical tips
- Screenshot palettes you like; random seeds are not saved between reloads.
- Palettes use triadic math from the rolled base — not curated design judgment.
- Use random colors for internal mocks only until legal approves trademark colors.
FAQ
Can I lock one color and randomize the rest?
Not yet — use the palette generator with a fixed base instead.
Are palettes guaranteed accessible?
No. Always check contrast before production.
Can I share a permalink to a color I rolled?
Copy HEX manually; we do not store rolls server-side.
Why triadic for palettes?
It tends to produce visibly distinct stops. Switch modes in the palette generator afterward.
Will the same palette appear twice?
Possible — keep clicking until you find a set you like.
