Color Name Wheel: a quick way to pick a hue
Need a color now—for a design mockup, an art challenge, a classroom activity, or a team’s theme? This Color Name Wheel gives you a curated set of classic color names (24 total) and picks one at random.
Default items include: Maroon, Red, Orange, Yellow, Olive, Green, Aqua, Teal, Cyan, Blue, Navy, Indigo, Purple, Fuchsia, Pink, Chocolate, Brown, Khaki (and more in the wheel).
Best ways to use this color picker
- Creative prompts: pick a daily color constraint for drawing, photography, or writing.
- Design decisions: choose an accent color when you’re stuck between “too many good options.”
- Group assignments: give each person a color for teams, folders, or game roles.
- Palette building: grab a few picks, then refine (or reroll) with intention.
Customize it in seconds
Click Edit to tailor the wheel to your project:
- Rename items (e.g., add notes like “Navy (background)”).
- Adjust weights to favor brand colors or avoid overused picks.
- Reorder or remove items to match your style guide.
Try elimination mode (no repeats)
Turn on elimination mode to automatically remove a color after it’s selected. It’s perfect for assigning unique colors to people, or for picking multiple distinct hues for a palette without duplicates.
