Random Color Generator
Draw random named colors with their hex codes and swatches — 140+ official CSS colors for art lessons, design classes, games and palettes.
Colors with real names and codes
Every draw shows the color as a large swatch with its official CSS name (“Cornflower Blue”, “Papaya Whip”) and hex code — the same names browsers use, so what students learn here works in code later.
Classic uses: color-of-the-day attendance (“if your favorite color is drawn, stand up”), scavenger hunts, watercolor mixing challenges (match the swatch), and CSS lessons with real values to type.
FAQ
What colors can it pick?
All 140+ named CSS colors — from Alice Blue to Yellow Green — each shown as a swatch with its official name and hex code.
How is this useful in a classroom?
Art: color-of-the-day warm-ups and complementary-color hunts. Design/CS: real hex codes for CSS lessons. Early grades: color recognition and spelling. Games: “find something this color” scavenger hunts.
Can I generate a palette?
Yes — set the count to 3–6 with no repeats for an instant palette. Note the draws are random rather than harmony-matched, which is the point for discovery games.
Can I copy the hex codes?
Yes — “Copy last” puts the drawn colors' names and codes on your clipboard.
