Chroma Guess is a quick, brain-teasing game about how well you actually see color. You get a few seconds to study a random color. Then it disappears, and you recreate it using three sliders: hue, saturation, and lightness. The closer your guess, the higher your score. That's the whole game. But picking the right shade once it's gone is a lot harder than it sounds. Or play head-to-head: pair with a nearby friend over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and run through the same colors, round by round. Compare scores at the end and find out who actually sees what. Two ways to play • Classic — match the color you observed • Opposite — land the exact opposite of the color you saw (Pro Unlock) Features • Pure HSL sliders, no presets, no cheating • Local multiplayer for two, pair up nearby and race the same colors • Adjustable difficulty and observe time • Score breakdown showing accuracy, difficulty, observe, and speed • Scales with your system text size, right up to the largest accessibility settings • Haptic feedback you can toggle off • Clean, type-forward design with a custom color-meter aesthetic • Works offline. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Great for quick breaks, color-curious creatives, and anyone who's ever argued about whether something is teal or cyan.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Chroma Guess at free against ZHU's free with in-app purchases. Chroma Guess also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). ZHU's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
