Palette (Stoop Games)

Palette gives everyone the same colour each day and a single attempt at it. The target is shown on the left and your mix on the right, with sliders below. You can mix in RGB, the additive model used by screens, or switch to CMY, the subtractive model used in printing, at any time; both control the same colour. The hex value of your mix updates as you go.

When you submit, the game measures the gap with Delta-E, which tracks how different two colours look to people rather than how far apart their numbers are. A Delta-E under 1 earns the full 10,000 points and the title Chromatic Genius; under 3 is Colour Expert, about what commercial printers call a good match; above 12 drops below 8,800. The page also shows yesterday's average score and the best score ever.

There is no play-again for the daily colour, and a streak resets if you miss a day. The puzzles are numbered, and a new one is published at midnight UTC. After you submit, the result card names the target colour and gives its hex code next to yours.

Beside the daily there is a Levels mode with 240 set colours across four modes. They are named Classic, Memory, Restricted and Studio. Restricted uses hue, saturation and lightness sliders, and Studio has you adjust exposure, temperature, tint and saturation as a photo editor would. All of them use the same Delta-E score.

Palette is one of several small games by Stoop Games, which also makes DailyGuessr, FlagGuessr, CocktailGuessr, Bloom and Sortl. It suits players who like Hexcodle or the Dialed colour test and want a one-minute daily check of their eye.
