A colour picker that uses your own list
This page chooses from the colour names you provide rather than generating an arbitrary hexadecimal value. That makes it easier to use with real supplies, classroom resources or game pieces. If you only have red, blue, green and yellow markers, those can be the entire pool.
Creative uses
- Choose the main colour for a drawing, collage or craft challenge.
- Assign colour-coded classroom groups when colours already have a meaning in the room.
- Pick a paint, marker or pencil family before starting a quick creative exercise.
- Choose a colour theme for a digital design warm-up.
- Add chance to scavenger hunts by selecting the colour of the next object to find.
Named colours and screen colours are different things
The swatch uses the browser's interpretation of common colour names. If you type a name the browser does not recognise, the text result will still be selected but the visual swatch may fall back to a neutral colour. Physical paints, pencils and fabrics can also look very different from a screen.
Remove mode for no-repeat rounds
Use remove-after-pick mode when every colour should appear once before any repeat. This works well for multi-round creative prompts. Keep mode is better when each round should start with the full set of options again.
