Why use a color picker wheel

Can’t decide on a color? Spin this color spinner, and the wheel picks one of 12, each slice painted the color it names, so even early readers can play. For hex codes and color palettes instead, the random color generator gives you those.

Pick the one color a drawing has to use
Spin a color and draw with only that shade, or spin three and make a picture from just those.
Give each team its color at sports day
Each team spins once and wears or waves whatever comes up. Hide each color as it’s taken.
Replace a lost color die or spinner
Spin for each turn in a board game that moves by color, and the whole table can see the result.
Play a color hunt at home
Kids spin a color and race to find something in the room that matches it.

This wheel wears the Color Me Spun theme: a paint box of twelve true colors, each slice the color it names. Your own copy keeps it, or pick another wheel theme.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as a color spinner wheel?

Yes. A color picker wheel and a color spinner wheel do the same job: spin, and it lands on one color.

Can I add my own colors to the wheel?

Yes. Click “Create your own color picker” and type any color names you like. A slice’s paint comes from its place on the wheel, so a new color may not match its word.

How do I get a hex code for a color?

Use the random color generator, which gives you hex codes you can copy, for up to 12 colors at a time.

Is the wheel really random?

Yes. Every entry has a slice of the same size, and where the wheel stops is picked with your browser’s cryptographically secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), so nobody can predict or rig the result.

Can I change the entries on this wheel?

Yes. Click “Create your own color picker” to save your own copy. You can then add, remove or rename entries, change the theme and spin settings, and share or embed your wheel.
