Wheel of Colors
This wheel of colors holds eight labeled shades, Red through Pink, and one spin lands on a single named color for your prompt.
How to spin for a color
- Set your shades
Keep the eight starters, or rename the entries and match each Customize fill to its new label.
- Spin once
Announce the written result; it stays clear even when two fills look nearly identical.
- Repeat for the next person
Spin again as needed. If two slices share one label, hide duplicates so only the first stays.
Palette names and the result log may persist on this device; remove them before handing a shared browser to someone else.
A palette that says what it shows
Each slice is filled with the shade it names, so the wheel reads correctly at a glance. Call out the written winner anyway; Teal and Green can blur together on a small phone.
Renaming an entry changes the label only. Replace the entries with Coral, Gold, and Navy, one per line.
Open Customize, select the Appearance tab, then Wheel Colors mode. Under Wheel Color Palettes, keep only the first three swatches checked and make them coral, gold, and navy. Select Done and check the labels.
The screen is a guide, not a swatch. Hues shift between monitors, projectors, and print, so check a physical sample before buying paint, ink, or thread.
Where it fits
- Art Drawing prompt: Use the written result as a starting color, then adapt it to the supplies and contrast available.
- Classrooms Labeled color activity: Read the winner aloud and pair it with a labeled object so the task never depends on color alone.

Common questions
Why is the slice still the old color after I renamed it?
Labels and fills are stored separately. Open Customize and pick a new fill for that slice; typing a color word or hex code only edits the text.
How do I give each person a different color?
Switch on auto remove winner and spin once per person. Winning shades leave the wheel until two remain. You can still spin, but repeats are possible.
