Daily color games: match, mix and remember a shade
Daily colour games give everyone the same shade or set of colours each day and most score how close you get. Some ask you to match a colour you can see or name, some to work out its code, some to rebuild it from memory and some to sort tiles into a gradient.

Every colour game we list is also on the daily colour games page (/daily-colour-games). The games below split into four kinds, and the kind tells you more than the name does.
Matching games name or show a colour and ask you to make it. Hued names an everyday colour and gives you three guesses with a colour picker; Close Hue and ColorGuesser each name five colours a day; Crayondle names a crayon and gives you one shot with RGB sliders; Palette shows the target beside your mix and takes one submission; The Daily Hue hides one colour from an artwork and points you closer after each miss. LogoHue, Flag Fill, GeoPaint and Quizebra's Find the Color ask for the colours of logos and flags, so knowing the brand or country helps. Chroma from robson.plus asks the least of your hand: pick the right swatch for each name. ColorGradle stretches the idea to a whole photo, where you match a colour grade in 60 seconds.
Deduction games work like Wordle with colours. Hexcodle (and its three-character Hexcodle Mini), Colorle and Hexle ask for the day's hex code, with arrows or coloured tiles for each digit. Spectra and COLOR CODE ask for red, green and blue values instead, so you need no hex. Colordle has you type colour names, and Colorfle and Chroma on Greatest Games ask which colours, in which shares, mix into the target.
Memory games show a colour, take it away and ask for it back. Dialed Color, Afterglow, Color Memory Game and Coloruno flash five colours each; Afterimage gives you five too, with less time to look and a distraction before you rebuild each one; Colorecall shows two shapes at once, which is harder; Color Match Game, Dialed Color2 and ToonTone use parts of illustrations, cartoons and logos, the last two asking for colours you already know.
Perception games test your eyes in the moment. Hueman asks you to spot the odd tile as the difference shrinks. Hue Complete Me on Puzzmo, HueSort, Huedle, Gradientle, Huezzle and Dialed Pattern all ask you to swap scrambled tiles back into a smooth gradient; they differ in grid size, which tiles are fixed and whether moves or time count. HUES and the Chromatic app add a clock to matching.
To start, try Hued or The Daily Hue for a gentle match, Hexcodle if you like working out codes, Hueman for a quick test of your eyes and a gradient game such as Huedle if you prefer a calm puzzle. Move on to Colorecall or Dialed Color once you want a memory challenge. Prism bundles five short colour tests into one daily, so it suits anyone who wants a bit of everything. Most take two to five minutes; Hue Complete Me and Afterimage can take longer.
One more game sits at the edge of the list: Forgeous shows a painting from the Metropolitan Museum of Art each day and has you copy it by drawing on your screen with your finger. Your copy is scored and ranked on the day's top scores, and matching the painting's colours is much of the work, so it sits between a colour game and a drawing one.
Questions
What is the hardest daily colour game?
That depends on the player, but memory games give you nothing to compare against, since the colour is gone before you rebuild it. Colorecall, which shows two colours at once before asking for one, and Dialed Color, which flashes five in a row, are two of them.
Are these games the same for everyone?
Yes. Each gives every player the same colour or set of colours that day, so scores can be compared.
Do I need to know hex codes?
Only for Hexcodle, Hexcodle Mini, Colorle and Hexle, which ask for the colour's hex code. Spectra and COLOR CODE use red, green and blue values, and the others use sliders, a colour picker, tiles or colour names.
Is there a colour game about flags?
Yes. Flag Fill asks for the colour of one blank section of a flag each day, GeoPaint asks you to mix one masked colour in each of five flags, and Find the Color on Quizebra asks you to fix a wrong colour in five flags.
Is there a Wordle for colours?
Yes. Hexcodle, Colorle and Hexle ask you to guess the day's hex code with feedback on each digit, Spectra does the same with red, green and blue digits, and Colordle has you name colours until you find the hidden one.
Are daily colour games free?
Yes, all of these can be played free. Some show ads, and Hue Complete Me's larger bonus board needs a Puzzmo Plus membership.
