A random color picker you can see
On this wheel of colors every segment is painted in the color it names, so the wheel itself is the color chart. Spin it to pick a random color for a drawing challenge, a “wear this color tomorrow” game, a kids’ scavenger hunt (“find something purple!”) or a design warm-up. The result card shows the color’s name and a hex code you can paste into design tools.
Young children love it as a color-learning game: spin, say the color, then point to something in the room that matches. Artists use it for limited-palette practice — spin three times and paint only with those colors. You can edit the entries, but custom colors you add will use the standard palette rather than their own shade.
How to use the Wheel of Colors
- Press Spin the wheel.
- Read the color and hex code on the result card.
- Spin three times for a limited palette challenge.
- Use Fullscreen for a classroom color game.
