What the Random Colour Generator does

Purely random colours will not form a harmonious palette — they are drawn independently across the whole colour space, so expect clashes. Use them as a starting point: pick one you like, then build a proper scale from it with the Tint & Shade Generator.

How it works

Using the Random Colour Generator

  1. 1Choose how many colours you want, up to thirty.
  2. 2Each colour is drawn as a random value across the full 24-bit range.
  3. 3The value is formatted as a six-digit hex code.
  4. 4Codes are zero-padded so they are always valid.
  5. 5Copy any code from the list.
