Open Custom WheelColor Wheel Spinner FAQ
How does the color wheel spinner pick a color?
Each of the twelve colors gets an equal slice, and the winner is chosen with the browser Web Crypto API before the wheel animates. Every color has a 1 in 12 chance, about 8.3%.
How do I pick a random color with its name and hex code?
Switch to Random color mode and press Pick a random color. It chooses one of the 139 named web colors, such as Papaya Whip or Steel Blue, each with the same chance, and shows the name, hex code and RGB value. Press Copy hex value to paste it into a design tool.
Where do the color names come from?
They are the named colors defined in the CSS standard that every web browser understands, so a name like "tomato" or a hex code like #FF6347 will show exactly the same color in any design tool or web page. Duplicate spellings such as grey and gray are listed once, which leaves 139.
Can I use this to pick a hair color or paint color?
It picks a color family, not a specific product. Spin for the family, then use the hex value as a starting point. For a shortlist of real products, paste their names into the custom wheel builder instead.
How many colors should a wheel have?
Up to about twelve segments stay readable at a glance. Beyond that, labels shrink and neighboring hues blur together, so favor fewer segments with clearly different colors over a long rainbow.
Which colors work best on a projector?
Saturated mid-tone colors with dark or white text on top. Avoid pale pastels and avoid putting two similar hues next to each other, because projector contrast is much lower than a laptop screen.
