A color generator creates color palettes, gradients, and color schemes for design projects. It helps designers, developers, and artists find harmonious color combinations, generate random colors, create gradients, and convert between color formats (RGB, HEX, HSL). Color generators are essential tools for web design, graphic design, and digital art. Our free color generator works entirely in your browser, providing instant color inspiration and tools.

What color formats are supported?

The generator supports HEX (#RRGGBB), RGB (rgb(r,g,b)), HSL (hsl(h,s%,l%)), and can convert between these formats.

Can I generate random colors?

Yes, you can generate completely random colors or random colors within specific hue ranges for more controlled randomness.

What is a color palette?

A color palette is a collection of colors chosen to work harmoniously together. Palettes often follow color theory principles like complementary or analogous schemes.

How do I create a gradient?

Select a start color and an end color, then the generator creates a smooth transition between them. You can add more color stops for complex gradients.

Can I save my color palettes?

Yes, you can copy color codes and save them manually, or use browser features to bookmark palettes. Some generators also offer export functionality.

What is color contrast?

Color contrast measures the difference in brightness between foreground and background colors. Higher contrast improves readability, especially for accessibility.

Can I use these colors commercially?

Yes, colors themselves cannot be copyrighted. You're free to use any generated colors in your projects, commercial or personal.

What is HSL color space?

HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) represents colors in a more intuitive way than RGB. Hue is the color type, saturation is intensity, and lightness is brightness.

How do I ensure accessible colors?

Use sufficient contrast ratios (WCAG recommends 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text). Test your color combinations with contrast checking tools.

Can I generate brand colors?

Yes, you can generate color palettes suitable for branding. Consider your brand personality and target audience when selecting colors.
