## <mark style="color:blue;">Randomize Colors</mark>

Color randomization is the most commonly used randomize feature on PreQuilt. It's so well loved and used that there's a dedicated button for it on the central Toolbar (![](https://667278489-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FPUFswdysHBJDPIJC9xe0%2Fuploads%2FlC0vli6AXZ25ac9GTetZ%2F00%20button.png?alt=media\&token=4ebd2522-0ad3-421b-b926-00e8ac175b19))!&#x20;

## <mark style="color:blue;">Solid Color Randomization</mark>

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">**TIP:**</mark> If you don't want to change the fabric linked to a Fabric Link, lock it!

To lock a Fabric Link, click on the lock button next to the color tag's edit button.

The **Color Randomizer button** (![](https://667278489-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FPUFswdysHBJDPIJC9xe0%2Fuploads%2FaMcrsVWE5EgyA3mit9xN%2F00%20button.png?alt=media\&token=994baa63-2d1f-48a9-813f-2e7ebc14b2bd)) is a powerful and playful feature in PreQuilt that can help jump start your color palettes. When you click it, PreQuilt will randomly assign solid swatches to all the unlocked color tags.&#x20;

I often use the Color Randomizer as a starting point to find a few randomly assigned Fabric Links that I like and work well together. Then I'll manually change the other color tags until I have a final color palette that I'd like to work with.

1. On the quilt grid's digital design wall, click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**Randomize Colors**</mark> button (![](https://667278489-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FPUFswdysHBJDPIJC9xe0%2Fuploads%2FNifqC3OpMRAHDWOz7C3K%2F00%20button.png?alt=media\&token=9630a445-10af-470b-acfc-c598d1dd2384)) on the Toolbar.&#x20;
2. Once you find a color swatch that you like for a Fabric Link that you don't want to change, lock it by clicking on the padlock button (<img src="https://667278489-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FPUFswdysHBJDPIJC9xe0%2Fuploads%2Feuv6S89POAvUXf99XvLP%2Flock.webp?alt=media&#x26;token=8bb1a631-0576-4287-95ff-e73653c83ff9" alt="" data-size="line">) to the left of the Fabric Link's edit button.
3. Continue clicking on the <mark style="color:blue;">**Randomize Colors**</mark> button (and locking and unlocking Fabric Links) until you find a color palette that you want to proceed to construction with.
4. Don't forget to periodically click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**Save**</mark> button (<img src="https://667278489-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FPUFswdysHBJDPIJC9xe0%2Fuploads%2FuMDm7qKkxiNPP4IzHZ6S%2Fsave.png?alt=media&#x26;token=7ed9659c-ced2-4d6f-ba01-c2e526cc4379" alt="" data-size="line">) to save your quilt.
