PleaseJS is a small JavaScript library that generates random aesthetically pleasing colors and color schemes using the HSV color space and the golden ratio. It offers two core functions, make_color and make_scheme, with many options for controlling hue, saturation, value, and output format.

Use cases

• generate random colors for a web UI
• create a color palette from a base color
• generate triadic or complementary color schemes
• produce consistent pleasing colors for data visualization
• generate random hex or rgb strings for CSS
• create greyscale color variations programmatically

When to choose

• you need random but visually pleasing colors in a JavaScript project
• you want to build color schemes from a single base color
• you need flexible output formats like hex, rgb, or hsv objects

When to avoid

• you need precise, deterministic color palette design tools
• you require a maintained library with active support and a clear license
• you need advanced color science features like perceptual color spaces
