Color Guesser

Pikachu without the yellow. A logo with no color at all. Color Guesser shows something you know well and asks you to find its exact shade before 20 seconds run out.

How the color square works

The big square does two jobs. Moving left or right changes the color itself. Moving up or down takes it from light to dark. Pick the color first, then slide down or up until the shade looks right.

Memory versus reality

Everyone thinks they know what color a famous logo is. But memory keeps the idea of the color, not the exact shade. A red that looks bold in your mind may be slightly orange in real life. When you play, ask whether the color leans warm or cool, not only what color it is.

Guessing a color from an image

The game hands you the image with its color taken out. You know the shape so well that you feel sure of the color, and that is the trap. The split card at the end puts your pick above the real one, and the gap is often bigger than you expect.

Before you start Color Guesser

Find the color family first, then fix how light or dark it is.
Brand colors are often brighter and purer than you remember.
Pick a theme you know well, such as flags, to warm up.
Cartoon characters are drawn in flat, strong colors, so start bolder than feels right and tone it down.
