Can I generate random colors in a specific hue range?
Yes, set hue, saturation, and brightness ranges individually to generate random colors in your desired tone.
Can I save generated colors?
Yes, copy the HEX/RGB/HSL codes to save them, or add to favorites.
Why do purely random colors rarely work in a design?
A random generator varies saturation and lightness as freely as hue, so one draw comes out neon-bright and the next comes out muddy. Combinations that read as harmonious almost always share a similar saturation and lightness range. Lock those two to a narrow band and let only the hue roam, and a far higher share of the results will be usable straight away.
How do I get several colors that stay distinguishable in a chart?
The simplest approach is to divide the color wheel evenly by the number of series: five categories at 72 degrees apart, eight at 45 degrees, and they stay clearly separated. Past about eight, color alone stops carrying the distinction, so add patterns or direct labels. Avoid placing red and green next to each other, since they look the same to viewers with the most common form of color blindness.
How to get the most out of Random Color?
Random hues arrive with wildly different saturation, so normalise lightness before using several together.
If a colour is headed for text, check its contrast against the background before you commit.
Copy the HEX as soon as you like a result — the same colour will not come back on its own.
