Color Grid Generator

Usage

Select the colors from the 6 drop downs or choose a saved palette. Enter a name and click on Save to save a palette for future use.

• First x colors only - if checked, the first X colors are used for grids with less than 6 colors. If not checked, the colors are randomly chosen from the set of 6 colors.
• Cell H/W - can be used to change the ratio of cell height/width (default is 3 to 1)
• Cell S - set to specify the size in pixels of each base unit
• Auto - the program automatically determines the cell size based on the browser size
• Pct - sets the maximum percentage of the screen height/width for the grid for auto sizing

• Reload - reloads the current grid
• Like - Press this button
• Favorites - drop down contains a list of grids that are currently "liked" (note, the colors are randomized, so the grid might look different)
• Random Grid - not to be confused with Randomize Grid, this will load an entirely new, randomly chosen grid
• Same Rules - randomly selects a grid with the same dimensions/colors and rules as the current grid
• Similar - randomly selects a grid with the same dimensions/colors and category as the current grid (see Categories below)
• Random Colors - randomizes the colors of the current grid based on the selected colors and options.

Adjacency Restriction Charts
Horizontal and Vertical:

Corner, Slash/Backslash

(H or V) and Island

These two rules are more complex and change when an adjacent cell of the same color is added. Both of the rules are the same as the "Corner" rule if only the center cell is filled. When an adjacent cell is filled with the same color, the H or V rule restricts additional cells, while the island rule removes restrictions on formerly restricted cells.
