How it works
- The browser chooses an entry using cryptographic randomness with rejection sampling. Every remaining line has one chance; repeating a line gives that choice additional chances. The wheel animation presents the result already chosen.
- Choices and results are processed in this tab and are not automatically saved or uploaded. This is a casual selection tool, not a certified lottery or a prediction of real outcomes.
Assumptions and limitations
This chooses from named colors; it does not sample every RGB value, extract image palettes or guarantee an accessible color combination. Check contrast separately before using the result for text, buttons or important visual information.
How to use this tool
Review the choices, select a choice set when offered, and spin. The result card lets you spin again, remove that occurrence or close. Editing the list changes the candidate pool; a new choice set restores its reviewed defaults. Sound, confetti and animation have separate switches.
When to use it
Use named colors when the activity needs an easy verbal instruction: paint something blue, find a green object or build a palette around purple. The label remains the result even when screens render the decorative swatch differently.

With red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple entered once, there are six candidates and each has a 1-in-6 chance. Adding a second blue entry gives blue two of the seven available chances.
