Hexel 2.0: Pigment & Finish Colors now live outside.

Red, Green and Blue are common. Brightness and Saturation come only from rare, vivid finds - Gathering charges regenerate over time, with a free top-up on your first open each day - Daily Find: one guaranteed sighting lands within reach every day, wherever you open the map - Color Wells at real landmarks pay double and replenish on their own schedule - Trails: walking seeds fresh sightings that everyone nearby can collect. Walk together, collect together - Geodes: uncover rough minerals while gathering, then crack them open by walking real distance for gather boosts, free spins and blend passes - Biome view: see the land cover that paints your area's palette BEYOND THE MAP - Restoration: spend a color's own recipe to raise its finish from Raw to Pristine and multiply its CPI - Field Journal: your collecting passport, reading back everywhere you have sampled and every color family you have met - Four new palettes to complete: Ember, Twilight, Graphite and Electric - Hexel+: an optional monthly membership with a larger charge cap, a second geode slot and more Built to be read without relying on color alone. Rarity, finish and progress are always carried by shape, count and text, not hue. Our fair-play promise stands: pigment is never sold, and premium pigment and rare sightings cannot be bought. Ever.
