Random Color Wheel
The Random Color Wheel is a free random color picker that chooses a color from the rainbow and a few neutral shades.
Spin the wheel to pick a color for an art prompt, a game, an outfit or a team. The default list includes red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, pink, brown, black, white and gray.
Add more specific shades such as teal or maroon, or remove colors you don't need. The Random Letter Wheel works well alongside it for drawing and word games.

Color Wheel vs. a Color Picker Tool
