What is a Random Color Generator?
A random color generator creates colors at random and displays their HEX, RGB, and HSL values. Designers use random color generators for inspiration, to discover unexpected palettes, and to quickly prototype color schemes. Our generator offers two modes: single color (great for picking one accent color) and palette mode (which generates 5 harmonious-looking colors at once for full design schemes).
How to use the Random Color Generator
- 1Choose "Single Color" to generate one color, or "Color Palette" to generate 5 colors at once.
- 2Click "Generate" to get a random color or palette.
- 3Use the lock toggle to lock a color you like while regenerating the rest.
- 4Copy HEX, RGB, or HSL values individually, or use "Copy All HEX" for the full palette.

Frequently asked questions
+What is a HEX color code?
A HEX color code is a 6-digit hexadecimal number prefixed with # that represents a color in RGB format. For example, #FF0000 is pure red.
+What is the difference between RGB and HSL?
RGB defines colors by Red, Green, and Blue values (0-255). HSL uses Hue (0-360°), Saturation (0-100%), and Lightness (0-100%), which is often more intuitive for designers.
+Can I generate a matching color palette?
Yes — switch to 'Color Palette' mode to generate 5 random colors at once. You can lock individual colors and regenerate the rest.
