Can I add hex codes or custom color names?

Yes. Type any label into the entry field — hex codes, Pantone names, descriptive names, or anything else. The wheel segment will be colored using your SpinRipple color palette setting, not the color name itself.

Does the wheel show the actual color?

Each segment has a background color from your wheel's color palette. For a color-wheel experience, set each entry's color to match its label — e.g. the 'Red' entry gets a red segment color. You can customize segment colors in the settings.

How many colors can I add?

Up to 20 on the free tier. The full visible spectrum (ROYGBIV + variants) fits comfortably within 20 entries.

Can I save a color palette wheel for reuse?

Yes. Sign up for a free account, configure your color wheel, and save it. You'll get a persistent URL for the wheel that retains your palette and settings.

Is this useful for hex code generation?

For a simple named-color random picker, yes. For generating specific hex codes, use a dedicated color randomizer tool. SpinRipple is optimized for visual, engaging randomness with named categories.

Random Color Wheel — Spin to Pick a Random Color

Spin the color wheel and let randomness pick your palette.

About this random color wheel

The random color wheel is the designer's, teacher's, and game master's secret weapon. Spin for a random color from your palette, pick a random color from the spectrum, or let the wheel choose your next project's primary hue. It's used for art assignments, random paint challenges, design sprints, kids' craft activities, and game night activities. The wheel displays each color's name on a colored segment — so the visual result matches the content. Spinning for 'Coral' lands you on a coral-colored segment, making the selection instant and obvious.

Why SpinRipple for random color wheel?

Art teachers assign random colors for exercises to push students out of their comfort zone. Designers use the random color wheel in brainstorming sessions to generate unexpected palette starting points. Game masters use it for map generation — terrain type, weather, or encounter environment is often tied to a random color table. For kids' craft projects, spin to pick which crayon or paint color to use next. The wheel supports custom entries, so you can add Pantone names, CSS hex codes, or any color system you use.

Common use cases

Art class — random color assignment to challenge students
Design sprints — random palette starting point
Kids crafts — spin to pick the next color
Tabletop RPG — random terrain or environment via color table
