Understanding Color Formats
HEX (#RRGGBB) is the standard for web design. RGB (Red, Green, Blue, 0-255 each) is how screens create color. HSL (Hue 0-360deg, Saturation 0-100%, Lightness 0-100%) is the most intuitive for designers because you can adjust brightness and saturation independently from the hue.
Hue (H)
The pure color angle on the color wheel: 0=red, 120=green, 240=blue, 360=red again.
Saturation (S)
100% = vivid pure color. 0% = pure gray. Low saturation gives neutral, muted tones.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between HEX and RGB?+
HEX and RGB represent the same information differently. #FF5733 in HEX = rgb(255,87,51) in RGB. HEX is preferred for CSS and design tools; RGB is used in programming when you need to manipulate individual channels.
What is HSL color?+
HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, Lightness. Hue is the angle on the color wheel (0-360). Saturation is how vivid vs. gray (0-100%). Lightness is how dark vs. bright (0-100%). HSL is more intuitive than RGB for creating color variations: change only the L value to get darker/lighter versions of the same hue.
What makes a color "vivid"?+
A vivid or saturated color has high saturation (80-100%) and medium lightness (40-60%). Reducing saturation gives pastel or muted versions. Reducing lightness gives darker, richer versions.
What is color contrast and why does it matter?+
Contrast ratio measures how distinguishable a color is against a background. WCAG accessibility guidelines require minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio for normal text on web pages. Low contrast makes text hard to read, especially for people with visual impairments.
What is a good color palette for web design?+
Start with a primary hue, then create variations by adjusting lightness and saturation. A typical palette has 1-2 accent colors, a neutral scale (grays), and background/surface colors. Use this generator to explore random starting points for inspiration.
How does the hue filter work?+
Each hue name corresponds to an angle range on the HSL color wheel: reds (0-30deg and 330-360deg), oranges (30-60deg), yellows (60-90deg), greens (90-150deg), cyans (150-210deg), blues (210-270deg), purples (270-300deg), pinks (300-330deg).
What is a CSS color name?+
CSS has 148 named colors from "aliceblue" to "yellowgreen". The "CSS Name" shown is the closest CSS named color to the generated color — it is approximate since most colors do not have exact CSS names.
Can I use these colors in my project?+
Yes. All generated colors are freely usable. HEX and RGB values can be pasted directly into CSS, design tools like Figma or Sketch, or any code editor.
What is the use of random colors in design?+
Random colors break the habit of always reaching for the same palette. They can inspire unexpected combinations, serve as starting points for exploration, or be used as placeholder content in prototypes and mockups.
How many colors can I generate at once?+
Up to 10 in palette mode. Each generates a new random color following the same filters. Click any swatch to see its detailed values.
