About this wheel

A random color, picked in front of everyone

The wheel loads with eight common colors, and every enabled color gets an equal chance on each spin. Type your own list to change it — add Turquoise, delete Pink, or paste an entire paint shortlist, one color per line, and the wheel redraws as you type.

Artists use it for drawing challenges: spin once for the subject color, or spin several times to build a limited palette and commit to whatever comes up. Teachers use it for color-recognition games with young kids, and groups use it to settle color arguments — jersey colors, team assignments, or which paint sample finally goes on the wall. The winner shows up in the result box and in the Results history, so a class or a group can see every pick.

For palette-building challenges, turn on auto remove winner so each spin removes the picked color and you never draw the same one twice. If you reuse the same color list — a recurring art prompt wheel, a classroom set — save it to My Wheels, or send a Quick Share link so a friend gets a copy of the exact same wheel.

How to use

How to use the wheel of colors

  1. Set up your color list. Keep the starter colors or type your own, one color per line. Anything works: basic colors, paint shade names, or hex codes.
  2. Spin the wheel. Click the Spin button or the wheel itself. The color under the pointer is your pick.
  3. Use the color it lands on. Draw with it, wear it, paint with it — the point is committing to the result instead of second-guessing.
  4. Spin again for more colors. Building a palette? Turn on auto remove winner so each spin gives you a different color with no repeats.

Tip: the slice backgrounds come from the wheel theme, so a slice labeled Green will not automatically be green — open Customize to set the wheel colors yourself if you want them to match.

Ideas and use cases

What people spin a color wheel for

Any time a color should be random — or nobody wants to be the one who chose it — the wheel decides:

Art

Drawing and painting challenges

Spin for the color you must draw with next. Popular for random-color art challenges where the fun is working with whatever you get.

Art

Limited palette generator

Spin three or four times with auto remove winner on and commit to those colors as your palette for the piece.

Classrooms

Teaching colors to kids

Spin and have kids name the color, find an object in that color, or grab the matching crayon. The moving wheel keeps young learners watching.

Games

Color-themed party games

Wear the color it lands on, find something in that color first, or make it a forfeit trigger — the wheel runs the game for you.

Teams

Jerseys and team colors

Two teams both want blue? Spin once per team and the argument is over — everyone watched the same fair pick.

Home

Paint and decor stalemates

Put your shortlisted paint shades on the wheel and let a spin break the tie when the household cannot agree.

FAQ

Common questions about the wheel of colors

Does every color have the same chance of winning?

Yes. Every enabled color gets an equal-sized slice and an equal chance on each spin, using fresh random selection in your browser. If you want one color to come up more often, Advanced mode lets you set per-entry weights as a visible setup choice.

Do the wheel slices actually show each color?

Not automatically. Slice backgrounds come from the wheel theme palette, so the slice labeled Red may not be red. You can open Customize and set the wheel colors yourself if you want the slices to match their names.

How do I add my own colors?

Type them into the entries list, one color per line — the wheel redraws as you type. Any text works, so you can use basic names, paint shades like Sage Green, or hex codes, up to 2,000 entries.

Can I stop the wheel from picking the same color twice?

Yes. Turn on auto remove winner and each picked color leaves the wheel after its spin — handy for building palettes or running elimination rounds. You can also remove colors manually.

Can I save my color wheel or share it with someone?

Yes. Save it to My Wheels to keep it in your browser on that device, download it as a file, or send a Quick Share link that gives someone a copy. Spin With Friends opens a live room where everyone watches the same spin land on the same color.

Is the wheel of colors free?

Yes. Spinning, customizing, saving, and sharing are all free, and you never need an account.
