About Random Color Generator

Generate random colors with a single click. Choose from six modes — fully random, pastel, vibrant, dark, warm, or cool — to match your design needs. Each generated color shows hex, RGB, and HSL values with one-click copy. Build 5-color palettes with lock slots to keep colors you like while regenerating the rest. Your last 10 colors are saved in history.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the random color generator work?
Each mode constrains the RGB values differently. 'Random' uses the full 0-255 range for each channel. 'Pastel' keeps values between 127-255 for soft colors. 'Vibrant' maximizes one channel and minimizes another for saturated colors. 'Dark' stays below 100 per channel. 'Warm' emphasizes reds/oranges, 'Cool' emphasizes blues.
What does locking a palette slot do?
Click the lock icon on any palette color to keep it when you click 'Generate Palette'. Only unlocked slots will get new random colors. This lets you build palettes incrementally — lock the colors you like and keep regenerating until every slot is perfect.
Can I get the same random color again?
Your last 10 generated colors are shown in the history bar. Click any history swatch to restore it as the active color. You can also manually type any hex code into the preview area.
