This is highly subjective, but to me, it's biased to output colors that are more <i>web-safe palette meets pastel colors</i> than <i>pleasing</i>.
Every time I come across one of these color generators it just reminds how much a good designer is worth. Putting together a pleasing color palette with the appropriate amount of contrast, interest, and color quality is really hard to do. I always laugh when our designer updates color values to ones that may look identical to me, but as soon as they are implemented and play off the other colors in the design (including the white space) everything just instantly feels more polished.
Very similar to randomColor.js: <a href="http://llllll.li/randomColor/" rel="nofollow">http://llllll.li/randomColor/</a><p>Definitely need a contrast mode. I've been thinking about forking randomColor.js for the last week to implement that feature actually..
As a colourblind person who struggles with coming up with good looking colour schemes, this looks really nice.<p>I've used the likes of Palleton [1] and Kubler [2] before but they seem to be geared towards graphic designers and people who actually understand terms like adjacent, triad and compliment in the context of colours.<p>[1] <a href="http://www.paletton.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.paletton.com/</a><p>[2] <a href="https://kuler.adobe.com/create/color-wheel" rel="nofollow">https://kuler.adobe.com/create/color-wheel</a>

In the case where you retrieve multiple random colours, is there a chance you could add a setting that doesn't return colours that are too close to each other?
Does it have an API for generating contrasting colors? For instance for a chart, you'd like to generate a set of colors that are all not too alike each other.
Pretty cool. I added it to add some colors to our website: <a href="http://referralhire.com" rel="nofollow">http://referralhire.com</a> Thanks!<p>Its getting obvious to me now, if a good designer suggests color add them else shutup and keep it white or black :)
Hey guys, I'm the guy that wrote this. Colorblind mode and contrast are common suggestions and I'm totally working on adding them in. In the meantime, thanks for all the feedback and enjoy using Please.
I made a jsfiddle for playing around with the API: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/MsXrp/1/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/MsXrp/1/</a><p>I'm quite happy with what I see so far.
I like the colors it generated for me very much... But it should also have the ability to generate ugly colors. It's just not fair to favor the pleasing colors so heavily.
