Random color generator FAQ

How do I generate a random color online?

Select a color mood and choose New color, or press the spacebar on your keyboard. The generator creates a new shade instantly and displays its HEX, RGB and HSL color values.

Can I generate random HEX, RGB and HSL colors?

Yes. Each random color is shown in all three formats. Select any value to copy it, and choose your preferred format to make it the large value on the color card.

Can this tool create pastel or vibrant colors only?

Yes. The mood filter controls the saturation, lightness and hue range. Choose Pastel, Vibrant, Dark, Warm or Cool, or use Any for unrestricted random colors.

How does the text contrast recommendation work?

The tool calculates the contrast ratio between the generated background and both black and white text. It recommends whichever option has the higher ratio. This is a helpful first check; complete interfaces should still be tested against WCAG requirements at their final text size and weight.

Can I save and export random colors?

Yes. Save favorite shades to your browser, then copy them together as CSS custom properties. Saved colors remain on this device until you remove them or clear browser storage.

Is this online random color generator free and private?

Yes. It is free, requires no sign-up and generates colors directly in your browser. The tool does not upload your color history or saved favorites.
