How to play

1. 01

   Read the name

   You're shown a colour name, such as Mango Tango or Palatinate Blue.

2. 02

   Pick the colour

   Use the colour wheel to choose the colour you think matches it.

3. 03

   Reveal

   Tap Reveal to see the real colour and how close you were, for up to 100 points.

4. 04

   Play all five

   There are five colours in each daily puzzle, so the top score is 500. Then share your result.

Good to know

• Scored like your eyes see. Scores use the CIE94 colour difference, which measures how different two colours look to people, not just their RGB values. Even a close guess usually scores 70 or more.
• Strange names. Colour names come from an open-source colour name database, and some are delightfully odd.
• Other modes. Opposite asks for the complementary colour of the same daily puzzle, and Infinite gives endless practice rounds.
