Tools like this strike a balance between true randomness and useful brainstorming in the creative process. Obviously, some colors are visually and mathematically better palettes than other, but within that bias there’s still an element of randomness, which can help with things like creative block and monotony in work. Other similar tools I’m familiar with as a design student are AI generated image and typography services, which strike a similar balance.
