How to use the random light colour generator

1 Press generate for a fresh set, and again until one lands.
2 Switch the format if you need RGB, HSL or OKLCH rather than hex.
3 Tap any swatch to copy it, or copy the whole set at once.

Light backgrounds are the default for a reason — they suit reading in bright ambient light, which is most of the time — but pure white has the same problem as pure black in the other direction. A very light tinted background reduces the glare of a bright screen in a dark room and gives a page some character. The practical constraint is that the lighter the background, the more contrast options you have for text, which is why light palettes are easier to make accessible than dark ones.

Questions

Pure white glares in a dark room. A very light tint reduces that and gives the page some character.
