Random Color Picker (HEX, RGB, HSL Generator)

Generate a Random Color Instantly

Want a fresh color idea in one click? This Random Color Picker gives you a new color instantly, with the exact code ready to copy. It is useful when you are designing a website, picking a brand accent, creating a social post, or just exploring color ideas without overthinking it.

Use the Random button when you want fast inspiration. The tool updates everything at the same time, the background, the preview box, the color codes, and the palettes. That means you do not have to open extra tabs or convert formats manually. You get one clean result that is ready for design or development.

If you are stuck choosing “the right shade,” keep clicking until the color feels right, then fine-tune it using Hue, Saturation, and Lightness.

Copy Color Codes (HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV)

Design tools and code editors do not always speak the same “color language.” That is why this page gives you multiple formats at once.

HEX (Best for web design)

HEX is the most common format in CSS and web design. Example: #22A3FF.
Use it in CSS like this:

• • color: #22A3FF;

• background: #22A3FF;

RGB (Best for screens and UI work)

RGB uses Red, Green, Blue values. Example: rgb(34, 163, 255).
It is great when you are working with design systems, animations, or UI states.

HSL (Best for adjusting colors)

HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, Lightness. It is perfect when you want the same color but:

• more vivid (increase saturation)
• softer (decrease saturation)
• darker or lighter (adjust lightness)

HSV (Best for color picking logic)

HSV stands for Hue, Saturation, Value. Many color pickers use HSV because it matches how people think about “brightness.”
Each code has a Copy button, so you can paste it into:

• CSS
• Elementor custom CSS
• Figma styles
• Tailwind config
• Brand guidelines
• Design systems

Shades and Tints Palette

One color is rarely enough. In real projects, you need a range: darker versions for hover states, lighter versions for backgrounds, and balanced steps for UI consistency.

This tool automatically generates shades and tints around your selected color:

• Shades are darker versions, great for buttons, borders, and headings.
• Tints are lighter versions, great for sections, cards, and soft backgrounds.

This is especially useful when you want a clean design system like:

• Primary 900, 800, 700 (darker)
• Primary 500 (main)
• Primary 300, 200, 100 (lighter)

Instead of guessing, you get ready-to-use steps you can click to apply or copy.

Color Harmony (Complementary, Analogous, Triadic)

Color harmony helps you build palettes that feel “right” together. This tool gives you three of the most useful harmony types.

Complementary

A complementary color is the opposite side of the color wheel.
It creates strong contrast and looks bold. It is perfect for:

• call-to-action buttons
• highlights
• attention-grabbing sections

Example: Blue often pairs well with an Orange complement.

Analogous

Analogous colors sit next to each other on the color wheel.
They feel smooth and natural, great for:

• gradients
• modern branding
• calm UI themes

Example: Blue, Blue-Green, and Green.

Triadic

Triadic palettes use three colors spaced evenly on the wheel.
They look vibrant but balanced if used correctly. Best for:

• playful brands
• creative landing pages
• charts and dashboards

Tip: In triadic palettes, choose one main color, and use the other two as accents. That keeps your design clean.

Contrast Check for Readability

A color can look beautiful and still fail in real UI because the text becomes hard to read. That is why this tool includes a contrast check.

The contrast indicator helps you quickly see if your selected color will work with:

• white text
• black text

This matters for:

• buttons
• headings over backgrounds
• badges and labels
• accessibility and usability

If contrast is low, you can fix it fast by:

• darkening the background slightly
• reducing lightness
• switching text color (white vs black)
• using a tint/shade instead of the main color

Good contrast does not just help accessibility, it increases conversions because people can read your call-to-actions clearly.

Save and Reuse Favorite Colors

When you find a color you like, you should not lose it. The Save feature stores your colors in your browser so you can come back later and reuse them.

• This is ideal for:
• building a brand palette
• testing different UI themes
• saving client-approved colors
• keeping a shortlist for a design project

Your saved colors show as clickable swatches. Tap one to restore the full set, codes, palettes, and harmony colors.

If you want to start fresh, you can clear saved colors anytime.
