How to Create and Manage Wheel Colors

Wheel colors control how each slice appears on your wheel spinner. In Spin The Wheel Random Picker, you can create custom color palettes, use AI to generate color themes, manually edit slices, duplicate saved colors, or reset everything back to default.

Creating a New Wheel Color

Option 1: Quick Colors (Automatic Palette)

1. Click New Color in the top menu.
2. Select Quick Colors.
3. Choose how many color options you want.
4. Click Quick Colors to auto-generate a matching palette.

Quick Colors automatically creates a balanced color scheme that complements your current theme background.

Option 2: AI Generate Colors

1. Click New Color → AI Generate Colors.
2. Paste your Google Gemini API Key. Security Note: The web version does NOT store or save your API key. You must enter it each time you reload the page. To securely save your key, use the desktop or mobile app version.
3. Select a Gemini model:
   • Flash-Lite – Fastest
   • Flash – Balanced
   • Pro – Highest quality
4. Enter a prompt (example: “Easter pastel palette, 7 colors”).
5. Click AI Generate Colors.

Tip: Include the number of colors in your prompt to control how many slices are generated.
