The random color generator is a powerful tool for creativity. Here are tips on how to get the most out of it.
When creating a palette, use the primary color for 60% of the area, secondary for 30%, and accent for 10%.
After generating a color for the background, make sure the text on it remains readable. The contrast ratio should be at least 4.5:1.
Generate colors and save the ones you like to a collection. Over time, you'll build a library of inspiring palettes.
The HSL format allows you to change hue, saturation, and lightness independently, which is more convenient for picking variations.
Often the most interesting color solutions come from unexpected combinations. Generate and experiment.
Use generated colors with color blindness in mind. Test palettes for suitability for people with color vision deficiencies.
