Generate Random Color

Creates a color value and the color, either completely random, or red, green, blue sorted, or in gray. For sorted random color, R stands for red, G for green and B for blue. With R≥G≥B, red is stronger than (or equal to) green, which in turn is stronger than blue, the order for the other sortings is correspondingly different. Simply press a button to get a random color with its color value.

The color tendencies for the sorted random colors are:

R≥G≥B	orange-brown	R≥B≥G	red-purple
G≥R≥B	yellow-green	G≥B≥R	blue-green
B≥R≥G	blue purple	B≥G≥R	turquoise blue

The color codes are composed of three hexadecimal values for the red, green, and blue components. The first two characters determine the red component, the middle two characters the green component, and the last two characters the blue component. Hexadecimal refers to the sixteen-digit system, which uses 15 different number symbols: 0 to 9 and A to F. The decimal 16 is written as 10 in this system. Each component can be between 00 and FF, where 00 is nonexistent and FF means full expression. With these boundary values and the values in between, there are 256 possibilities for each color component, which corresponds to the hexadecimal FF.
For a random color, each of these three values is randomly selected from the range. For a random shade of gray, only one random value is determined, which is used for all three components. For a sorted color, three random values are first determined and then assigned according to the sorting order. It can also happen that two adjacent values are the same; the chance of this is 1/256 for two values. The chance of randomly obtaining a shade of gray is 1/256², or 1/65,536. The number of all possible color combinations is 256³, or 16,777,216. There are 256 different grays, with black being 000000 and white being FFFFFF. For each sorted random color, there are 2,829,056 combinations.
