Crypto-grade fair randomness.How it works

What is the Random Color Generator?

A random color generator produces a color for you and shows it in the three formats designers actually use: HEX, RGB, and HSL. Beyond a single swatch, it builds a coordinated palette of five colors, and a built-in contrast checker tells you whether text will be readable on the color you generated. Every value copies with one click. This tool lives right here on Randomizers.io rather than sending you off-site, and you can explore deeper palette theory at colorpalettes.io when you want more.

How to use the random color generator

  1. Press Generate to produce a random color.
  2. Read the HEX, RGB, and HSL values for the swatch.
  3. Generate a palette of five for a coordinated set.
  4. Check the contrast readout for text legibility.
  5. Click any value to copy it.

Use cases

Frequently asked questions

What formats does it output?

Every color is shown as HEX, RGB, and HSL, and each value copies with one click.

Can I generate a palette?

Yes. Build a coordinated palette of five colors alongside the single swatch.

Does it check contrast?

Yes. A contrast readout indicates whether light or dark text will be readable on the color.

Is it truly random?

Yes. Colors are drawn from an unbiased cryptographic random source.

Where did the old link go?

The color tool now lives here on-site; for deeper palette theory you can still visit colorpalettes.io.

Can I copy values?

Yes. Click any HEX, RGB, or HSL value to copy it to your clipboard.
