About Random Palette Generator
The Random Palette Generator spins up fresh colour palettes on demand, so you can break out of a creative rut and find a starting point for a brand, a UI, a slide deck or an illustration.
Press generate and it picks a random base hue, then arranges the swatches according to the colour-harmony scheme you choose, giving you combinations that actually work together rather than a random jumble.
Five schemes are available. "Random" gives fully independent colours for maximum variety. "Analogous" fans the swatches around neighbouring hues for a calm, cohesive feel. "Complementary" pairs a hue with its opposite for high-contrast accents. "Triadic" spaces three hues evenly around the wheel for balanced, vibrant sets. "Monochromatic" keeps a single hue and steps through lightness for a clean, tonal ramp.
You can ask for anywhere from two to ten swatches.
Each swatch shows its hex code, which you can copy individually, or grab the whole palette as a comma-separated list in one click for pasting into CSS, a design tool or a config file.
Generation happens entirely in your browser using the Web platform — nothing is uploaded — so it is fast, private and works offline once loaded.
FAQ
What is the difference between the harmony schemes?
Analogous uses neighbouring hues for harmony, complementary uses opposites for contrast, triadic spaces three hues evenly, monochromatic varies the lightness of one hue, and random is fully unconstrained.
Can I reproduce a palette later?
Each generation is random, so save the hex codes you like by copying them. Re-running may produce a different palette, but a copied list can be pasted back into any tool.
