FEATURES
Why People Love This Wheel
Colors You Can See
Every color sits on its own slice in its real color, so the wheel looks like a palette you can spin.
Made for Art Prompts
One spin gives artists, sketchers and journalers a color to start with, so the blank page never wins.
Great for Games
Party games, classroom games and color challenges all run on a random color nobody chose.
Your Own Palette
Type any colors you like: paint shades, team colors or brand colors.
Quick on Mobile
In a shop or in front of a class, the wheel answers in seconds on your phone.
Spin Until It Clicks
Spin a few times and collect the colors that land, then keep the ones that work together.

USE CASES
Popular Ways to Use It
Art and Drawing
Pick a main color for a drawing prompt or a daily sketch challenge. The spin ends the blank-page stall and gives the drawing a direction.
Kids and Classrooms
Turn colors into a game: spin, say the color out loud, then race to find it somewhere in the room. Color names stick faster when children are hunting for them.
Style Choices
Nail color, an outfit accent or a party theme color. When every option is fine and the decision is small, one spin settles it without a debate.
Games and Streams
Run random color rounds in drawing games and viewer challenges. Everyone watches the color land, so nobody can say the host picked a favorite on purpose.
When a Wheel Picks the Color
Choosing a color sounds easy until you are staring at twenty good options. Designers hit that wall, kids hit it with crayons, and party planners hit it with balloons. A random color picker cuts through the stall and hands you a starting point. That is all this color picker wheel is: one fair way to land on a color, not a hex tool and not an eyedropper.
The result works in two ways. If the color feels right, you run with it and the real work starts. If it feels wrong, that tells you which color you wanted all along. Either way the stall is over, and you are choosing on purpose now.
Ideas to Try With the Color Wheel
One spin can start more than a drawing. Here are a few ideas people love to use with it.
- Drawing prompt: spin one color, then draw something that uses only that color plus black and white.
- Classroom game: spin a color, then race to touch something in the room that matches it.
- Outfit help: spin an accent color, then build the whole outfit around it.
- Design starts: spin two or three colors and test them together as a palette.
- Party theme: let the wheel pick the balloon and decor colors.
Make the Wheel Yours
The default wheel carries twelve common colors, and every slice is painted in its own color: red, blue, green, yellow, purple, orange, pink, teal, brown, black, white and gold. Replace them with anything you like. Exact paint shades for a room, your team colors, or a short list of finalists. Type one color per line and the wheel rebuilds itself as you write.
Two presets cover the common moods. The Rainbow preset loads the seven classic rainbow colors kids reach for first. The Warm vs Cool preset sets three warm colors against three cool ones, so one spin settles the mood first. Edit any line in either preset and it becomes your own starting point.

GOOD TO KNOW
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add my own colors?
Yes. Delete the list that is there and type your own colors, one color per line. Shade names or plain color words all work, because every line becomes one slice.
Is the color picked fairly?
Yes. Every color gets an equal slice, so every color has the same chance on every spin. A color gets a bigger slice only if you give it extra weight, like writing Red*2.
Can I spin for two colors at once?
Spin once, note the color, then spin again for the second one. If you do not want a repeat, remove the first color before the second spin. That is how palettes get built with a random color picker: one honest spin at a time.
What is the rainbow preset?
It loads the seven classic rainbow colors onto the color picker wheel: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. It is a favorite in kids' color games and classrooms.
Can I change the wheel colors and how long it spins?
Yes. Tap Colors to pick one of seven color sets, and press the 3s, 6s or 10s button under the entries box to choose how long the wheel spins. Both are saved in your browser, so they are still set on your next visit.
