Random Palette Generator

The Random Palette Generator is a color combination creation tool for designers, developers, and creators. With a single button click, it instantly creates harmonious and beautiful color palettes, allowing you to easily copy the HEX code and RGB values of each color.

Six algorithms based on color theory automatically select colors that complement each other, significantly reducing the time spent worrying about color selection.

Key Features

1. Various Color Harmony Algorithms

The Random Palette Generator uses six algorithms based on color theory:

• Analogous: Composed of adjacent colors on the color wheel, creating a soft and harmonious feel.
• Complementary: Colors positioned opposite on the color wheel, creating intense and contrasting effects.
• Triadic: Colors positioned at three equal divisions of the color wheel, achieving balanced harmony.
• Monochromatic: Creates a unified palette by varying the brightness and saturation of a single color.
• Split-Complementary: A variation of complementary color schemes, producing more sophisticated contrast effects.
• Tetradic: Colors positioned at four equal divisions of the color wheel, creating rich and diverse combinations.

2. Flexible Generation Options

You can select anywhere from 3 to 15 colors. Choose the appropriate number according to the scale or needs of your project.

3. Easy Color Copying

Clicking on each color card automatically copies the HEX code to the clipboard. You can paste it directly into design tools or code editors without the need for mouse dragging or complicated processes.

4. URL Sharing Feature

When you find a palette you like, you can share the link using the URL copy button. The palette information is included in the URL, so anyone who receives the link can see the exact same color combination.

5. History Feature

All generated palettes are automatically saved in the history. Up to 50 palettes are stored, and you can reload any previously generated palette at any time. No need to worry about losing combinations you liked.

6. Keyboard Shortcuts

Pressing the spacebar generates a new palette. You can quickly explore multiple combinations without using the mouse.

Use Cases

Web Design and Development

You can quickly determine the color scheme for websites or web applications. Create consistent designs by harmoniously selecting main colors, secondary colors, accent colors, and more.

Brand Identity Work

Get inspiration when creating brand logos or marketing materials. Try various color combinations quickly to find the palette that fits your brand image.

UI/UX Design

Select colors to use for buttons, icons, charts, etc. in app interfaces or dashboard designs. Easily find color combinations that consider readability and visual hierarchy.

Graphic Design

Get color inspiration for graphic work such as posters, banners, and infographics. The algorithm automatically creates harmonious combinations, reducing color selection time.

Illustration and Digital Art

Setting a color palette in advance when drawing helps maintain consistency in your work. Try various combinations to determine the mood of your artwork.

Presentation Creation

Apply a consistent color theme when creating presentation materials such as PowerPoint or Google Slides. Create professional and sophisticated presentations.

Effective Usage Tips

Generate Multiple Times

Keep pressing the spacebar to generate combinations until you find one you like. The algorithm creates different combinations each time, so it’s good to explore thoroughly.

Adjust Color Count

It’s recommended to start with a small number (3-5) at the beginning of a project to determine main colors, then increase the count to add secondary colors as needed.

Actively Use History

While generating multiple palettes, accumulate combinations you like in the history. You can compare them later to make your final selection.

Use with Other Tools

The generated HEX codes can be pasted directly into design tools like Figma, Adobe XD, Photoshop, or CSS files.

Save URLs by Project

Saving the palette URL in project documents or notes is useful when you need to find the same colors later.

Understanding Color Codes

What is HEX Code?

HEX (Hexadecimal) code is a way of expressing colors in hexadecimal. It’s in the #RRGGBB format, where RR represents Red, GG represents Green, and BB represents Blue intensity. Each value ranges from 00 to FF.

Example: #FF0000 is pure red, #00FF00 is pure green, #0000FF is pure blue.

What is RGB Code?

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) code is a way of expressing colors in decimal. Each color channel has values from 0 to 255, and RGB(255, 0, 0) means red.

Web development mainly uses HEX codes, but some graphics programs require direct RGB value input, so both formats are provided.

Technical Features

Color Theory-Based Algorithm

The Random Palette Generator doesn’t simply select colors randomly but uses algorithms utilizing the HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) color space to create harmonious combinations.

Local Storage Utilization

The history feature uses the browser’s local storage to save data. Since it doesn’t transmit information to servers, it provides both privacy protection and fast performance.

Responsive Design

Provides optimized screens for all devices including desktop, tablet, and mobile. The layout automatically adjusts according to screen size.

Instant Feedback

Provides immediate feedback through toast notifications for all actions (copy, generate, load, etc.), enhancing user experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Are generated palettes copyrighted?

A. No, generated color combinations can be freely used for commercial/non-commercial purposes. Colors themselves are not copyrighted.

Q. How long is the history kept?

A. It’s kept permanently unless you clear the browser cache. However, it cannot be accessed from other browsers or devices and is stored separately for each device.

Q. Can I fix specific colors and change only the rest?

A. The current version only supports regenerating the entire palette. It’s recommended to save the URL of palettes containing colors you like.

Q. Does it work the same on mobile?

A. Yes, it’s optimized for mobile environments and all features work identically. Touch interface is also supported.

Q. Can I export the generated colors?

A. You can click on each color’s HEX code to copy it and paste it wherever you want. It’s also possible to share the entire palette via URL.

Q. Can I use it without an internet connection?

A. After loading the page once, you can use all features without an internet connection. History is also stored locally, so it’s accessible offline.

Conclusion

The Random Palette Generator was created to solve the difficulty of color selection and improve the efficiency of design work. Even beginners unfamiliar with color theory can easily create harmonious color combinations, and professional designers can also use it as a tool for quick inspiration.

Click the ‘Generate New Palette’ button now to find the perfect color combination for your project. As you press the spacebar multiple times to explore various combinations, you may discover unexpectedly beautiful combinations.
