What this random palette generator does

Click the button and this tool builds a fresh set of five colors that look good together. Instead of picking colors at random and hoping they match, it starts from one random base hue and derives the rest as an analogous set — hues spread evenly around the base on the color wheel with matching saturation and gentle shifts in lightness. The result is a cohesive palette you can use for a website, slide deck, brand board, illustration, or UI mockup. Each swatch shows its exact hex code, and a single click copies that value to your clipboard so you can paste it straight into CSS, Figma, or any design tool. Use Copy all to grab every hex at once as a comma-separated list.

How the colors are chosen

A random base hue is picked, then each swatch is placed 28° apart around it so neighbouring colors stay related rather than clashing. Saturation is held in a vivid-but-not-harsh range and lightness cycles slightly between swatches to add depth, keeping the palette balanced. Every color is converted to a standard six-digit hex code. The generator is deterministic given its random seed, so the same seed always yields the same palette — that is what makes its logic testable — while a new click reseeds it for a brand-new combination. Nothing about the palette depends on a server; the math runs entirely on your device.

Frequently asked questions

What makes the generated palettes harmonious instead of random noise?

The tool does not pick five unrelated colors. It chooses one random base hue and derives the others as an analogous set — evenly spaced around that hue with matching saturation and small lightness changes — so the colors naturally belong together.

How do I copy a color, and can I copy the whole palette?

Click any swatch to copy its hex code to your clipboard, or use the Copy all button to copy every hex at once as a comma-separated list you can paste into your code or design file.

Is anything uploaded when I generate a palette?

No. Every palette is generated locally with JavaScript in your browser. Nothing you generate or copy is sent to, stored on, or logged by any server.
