Random colors

There are many times I find myself looking for color inspiration. Usually it's when I'm doing something design-oriented. Although a color picker wheel sounds ideal because of the almost infinite number of colors to pick from, it is often actually more frustrating than getting random colors. This is because I tend to gravitate toward the same colors every time on a color picker wheel. The picker is great for when I'm fine-tuning a color (wanting to get it a little lighter or darker for example; or less or more saturated). But when I have no idea what color I even want, that's when I prefer using a random color generator. Getting a bunch of totally different random colors is great - it means I have a starting point of things to pick from. And if I don't like any of those, I can always refresh the page (I mean if I'm using any of the color resources I gave above) and have it generate new colors. Then when I have a color that I like, it's OK if I need it to be fine-tuned; as mentioned above that's something I can do myself using the color picker on my graphics program.

I usually have a bunch of different projects on the go at any one time, so sometimes I'll be generating colors for one project when I realize "hey, this color would be perfect for my other project!" So it saves me some time when that happens. I love plenty of color, but I need random color inspiration for that, as described above, otherwise I wind up with the same-ish colors all the time.
