How to Play ColorFlex
ColorFlex is a free color guessing game. See a trending product, dial in the exact color using the HSB picker, and score up to 100 points per round. Five rounds per game. No download, no signup.
The basics
- See the product. Each round shows a trending product image — sneakers, lipsticks, album covers — across 13 categories.
- Pick the color. Use the picker to set hue (color family), saturation (vividness), and brightness (lightness).
- Lock it in. Submit your guess. Score is based on HSB distance to the real color — closer = more points.
Scoring
Each round scores 0–100. Distance is computed in HSB space because it better matches how human eyes perceive color difference.
- 90–100 — Elite. You nailed the family and the exact shade.
- 70–89 — Good. Right hue, small saturation or brightness miss.
- 50–69 — Decent. Wrong dimension somewhere.
- Below 50 — Missed the family. Re-read the prompt.
Game modes
- Solo — Pick a category and play freely. Best for grinding your average up.
- Daily Challenge — One color per day, global leaderboard, Wordle-style.
- Multiplayer — Up to 5 players in a room, real-time scoring.
Pro tips
- Lock hue first, then saturation, then brightness. Hue mistakes are the most expensive.
- Most beginners over-saturate. Pull saturation down 10–15% from your gut pick.
- Squint. Squinting averages out textured surfaces — exactly what the game grades against.
- Play in good light. Color discrimination drops measurably in dim or color-tinted rooms.
