I am generating a random color and would like this to never produce a bright white.
Could you help me?

Are you using RGB or HSV?
Post your code to http://gist.github.com so we can see what you’re doing.

If you use HSV, it’s easy to avoid white…

@Jeremy_Spencer
EVERY_N_MILLISECONDS (80)
{
fadeToBlackBy (leds , NUM_LEDS, 50);
leds [random8 (100)].setRGB(random8(),random8(),random8());
Fastled.show ();
}

what @Jeremy_Spencer said, try this instead:
leds[random8(100)].setHSV( random8(), 255,255);
That should generate fully-saturated rainbow colors, never white or black.

Or if you still wanted some variation in saturation and brightness you could do something like this:

leds[random8(100)].setHSV( random8(), random8(180,256), random8(50,256) );

This gives full color range, high saturations, and limits brightness to a minimum of 50.
