Frequently asked questions
Where do random colors help?
Placeholder palettes in mockups, distinguishing series in quick charts, avatar backgrounds, testing that a UI handles arbitrary user colors, and plain creative unblocking — a random color is a starting point you react to.
Hex, RGB or HSL — which should I use?
They describe the same color. Hex is the compact web notation, RGB maps to how screens mix light, and HSL is the friendliest to tweak by hand: rotate hue for a different color, drop lightness for a darker shade.
Truly random colors often clash — how do I get a nicer set?
Generate more than you need and keep the ones that work, or take one you like to our color palette generator to build matched tints and shades around it.
