About Color Match
Color Match is a free puzzle game about mixing and matching colours. Each level presents a target shade and a set of base colours, and you combine them in the right proportions to reproduce it — a puzzle about perception as much as logic.
The difficulty is genuinely perceptual. Distinguishing between two similar shades is harder than it sounds, and the game exploits that by presenting targets that sit between obvious mixes. Getting close is easy; getting exact requires paying attention to whether your mix is too warm, too dark or too saturated rather than simply too red.
Later levels restrict which base colours are available, which turns each puzzle into a small constraint problem — the target is reachable, but only through a specific combination rather than the obvious one.
How to play Color Match
Look at the target colour and combine the available base colours to reproduce it. Adjust the proportions until your mix matches. Later levels restrict which bases you can use, requiring specific combinations to reach the target shade.
Tips and strategy
- Judge one property at a time — is your mix too dark, too warm, or too saturated? Adjusting all three at once rarely converges.
- Add small amounts. Overshooting a mix is much harder to correct than approaching gradually.
- Compare against the target by looking away and back rather than staring, which desensitises your perception.
- When bases are restricted, work out which one must be in the mix before adjusting anything.

How do you match colours accurately in Color Match?
Assess one property at a time — brightness, warmth, then saturation — rather than adjusting everything at once. Adding small amounts and approaching the target gradually converges much faster than overshooting and correcting.
Do later Color Match levels get harder?
Yes, in two ways: the target shades sit closer to each other perceptually, and the available base colours are restricted so only specific combinations can reach the target.
