How does the random color generator work?

The generator uses JavaScript's random number generation to create random hexadecimal color values spanning the full 16.7 million possible color combinations (#000000 to #FFFFFF). Each generation is completely random, giving equal probability to all possible colors in the RGB color space.

What color formats does the tool support?

The tool supports three major color formats: HEX (hexadecimal notation like #FF5733), RGB (red-green-blue values like rgb(255, 87, 51)), and HSL (hue-saturation-lightness like hsl(12, 100%, 60%)). Each format can be instantly copied with one click.

Can I save or bookmark colors I like?

Yes! The tool automatically maintains a color history of your recently generated colors. You can click on any previous color to restore it, and copy its values for immediate use. The history persists during your session.

Are the generated colors truly random?

Yes, the colors are generated using JavaScript's random number generation algorithm, ensuring each color has equal probability of selection across all 16.7 million possible colors in the RGB spectrum. The randomization is uniform and unpredictable.

How do I use these color values in my projects?

Copy the color value in your preferred format: use HEX for CSS and web stylesheets, RGB for web development and design software, or HSL for CSS3 styling and advanced color manipulation. Paste the value directly into your code editor or design application.

Why should I use a color generator instead of picking colors manually?

Color generators provide instant inspiration, help you discover color combinations you might not naturally choose, and save time in design workflows. They're particularly useful for A/B testing designs, creating diverse mockups, or generating test data with varied color schemes.
