Color Palette Generator

Creates five random color swatches and displays each as a lowercase six-digit HEX code. It starts with a random hue, applies fixed hue offsets with small random variation, and varies saturation and lightness to produce a quick source of visual ideas.

A palette appears immediately. Select Generate Palette for a new set, then use the copy control on an individual swatch to place its HEX value on the clipboard. Regenerating replaces all five colors.

The hue pattern uses offsets of 0°, 30°, 60°, 200°, and 260° from a random base, with roughly ±5° jitter. Saturation is randomized from about 55% to 85%; lightness alternates between darker and lighter ranges before conversion from HSL to HEX.

The generator uses browser pseudorandom values. It provides no seed, history, export, or way to reproduce an earlier palette, and individual swatches cannot be locked while the others change. Copy any colors you want to retain before regenerating.

The output is inspiration, not a guarantee of color harmony, brand suitability, print accuracy, or accessible contrast. The tool does not accept a base color and does not test WCAG contrast between swatches or against text.

Test selected colors in their real UI roles, check contrast separately, and review across displays or print workflows. Generation happens locally in the browser; no palette values are uploaded.
