About this random color wheel
A random color is a useful constraint for a sketch, craft, or quick design exercise. This wheel chooses a named color; it does not require a particular paint, screen setting, or material. Interpret the result in a way that suits your project.
For a limited palette challenge, enable No Repeats and draw two or three colors. Use the Colors activity tool if you want to build a wheel from exact hex codes. The text names here are prompts and are not a guarantee of a specific printed or displayed shade.

Customize your odds
Each starter entry has weight 1. Turn on Weights & colors to adjust its chance. An entry’s probability is its weight divided by the total weight of the eligible choices. Learn how weighted odds work.
Changing a color or spin speed does not change the winner. Read the selection rules.

Questions about the random color wheel
Does a color name specify a precise hex value?
No. This template uses names as creative prompts. Use the Colors activity tool for exact hex-code entries.
How do I pick three different colors?
Choose No Repeats before drawing three times so each selected entry sits out.
Can I use colors I already own?
Yes. Replace the names with your paint, marker, yarn, or paper colors to get a practical material choice.
