Detailed instructions

1. Set the Number of Colors input to how many swatches your project needs (start with 6 for a palette, higher for data sets).
2. Choose a Color Mode — Any for full randomness, or Vibrant, Muted, Dark, or Light to match your project's tone.
3. Click Generate to produce the batch of swatches, each displayed with its hex, RGB, and HSL values.
4. Click the copy icon next to any format to send that specific color code straight to your clipboard.
5. Regenerate as many times as needed — results change every time, so keep clicking until a swatch set resonates.

Use Cases

• •Seeding a Figma file with 12 placeholder color styles before a brand sprint
• •Stress-testing a dynamic CSS theming system with 30 random hex values
• •Generating muted background swatches for avatar placeholders in a React user list
• •Prototyping a D3.js chart with distinct colors assigned to 8 data categories
• •Exploring a dark-mode palette by generating 10 low-lightness swatches and checking WCAG contrast ratios

Tips

• →Generate a batch of 20 in Muted mode, then cherry-pick 4–5 that share a similar lightness level for a cohesive neutral palette.
• →Dark mode swatches pair well with vibrant accents — generate both separately and mix one vibrant color into a dark set for contrast.
• →If you need a monochromatic feel, generate in Any mode and filter for swatches whose HSL hue values fall within 30° of each other.
• →For data visualization, generate at least twice as many colors as you need, then discard any that look too similar to each other in the output.
• →Paste hex codes directly into browser DevTools color picker to preview them in context before committing to your stylesheet.
• →Light mode is useful for generating pastel-range colors without the randomness of full Any mode overshooting into near-white values.
