Random, but controllable
This random color generator is built for playful exploration: fat neon swatch cards on a dark studio chrome. Random does not mean disposable — lock any swatch, then keep rolling the rest.
Controls that matter
- Generate — new random HEX for unlocked slots
- Shuffle — reorder unlocked colors only
- Lock — pin a keeper before the next roll
- Copy / PNG / JSON — take the result with you
When to use random vs curated
Use random generation for moodboarding, word-cloud accents, and quick CSS experiments. When you need brand-safe neutrals, lock two accents and manually verify contrast outside this playground. Related: HEX picker, CSS color palette, word cloud maker.
FAQ
How does the random color generator pick colors?
It samples vibrant HSL ranges (high saturation, mid lightness) and converts them to HEX. Generate refreshes unlocked swatches; locked ones stay put.
What is the difference between Generate and Shuffle?
Generate creates new random HEX values for unlocked cards. Shuffle only reorders the unlocked colors you already have — useful when the hues are right but the sequence is not.
Can random colors feed the word cloud?
Yes. Render Cloud or Recolor Cloud paints words with the current random palette. Cloud PNG and Palette PNG export separately.
