Color Bar Puzzle
Read full descriptionHide full description
Color Bar is a calm puzzle about mixing real paint. Become the best mixer, collect stars to level up and florins to buy masterpieces to hang in your workshop. Create your own paintings and create your own levels. Share with your friends and challenge them to solve! Pull a tube from the rack. Drop it into the slot. Pull the lever and watch the paint pour into the jar. The goal: match the target color on the wall. You'll quickly learn that red + yellow doesn't just make orange โ it depends on how much, in what ratio, with what tint, and whether you added a drop of black or white. The mixing is real RYB color theory (the Itten color cube). If you've ever held a palette knife, this will feel familiar. THE MAIN MODES โข Endless โ A new puzzle every level. The palette grows as you progress: red and yellow at first, blue by level 2, white (for tinting) by level 3, black (for shading) by level 6. By level 11, composite tubes arrive โ pre-mixed colors you can pour into the jar OR decompose back into their primaries with the lever's other direction. โข Create & Share โ Build your own puzzle: pick any target color and the exact tubes to mix it, then beat it once to prove it's solvable. Send it to a friend with a single link โ they play your level instantly. Trade puzzles back and forth, challenge each other with fiendish targets, and see who matches the color in the fewest moves. Every shared link is a tiny duel. โข Daily Challenge โ One puzzle a day, the same for everyone, generated from the date. Earn three stars to share a result card with friends and compare how you did. PLUS โข Masterpiece Gallery โ Earn florins as you play (deeper levels pay more) and unlock some of the world's most famous paintings โ the Mona Lisa, The Starry Night, The Great Wave, and more โ each with a short, true story of its significance. Hang the ones you love on your studio wall. โข Your Paintings โ Three stars unlocks a little painting canvas; each one is framed on the next level's wall and kept in your gallery. โข Color Compendium โ Mix a recognizable color and you "discover" it, filling a slot in a collectible encyclopedia. Can you find them all? โข Ranks โ Every star counts toward a climbing rank, from Apprentice Mixer to Grandmaster. โข Level Library โ Replay any level you've beaten as a fresh randomized puzzle โ never the same board twice. โข Sandbox โ No goal, every tube on the rack. Mix freely. Good for learning, good for relaxing. โข Soundtrack โ A calm, original score you unlock track by track as you play. โข Guided tutorials โ Each new mechanic is taught by a hands-on demo that points right at the tube, slot, or lever. Replay any of them from Settings. โข Hints โ Three per level when you're stuck, increasingly specific. DESIGNED THOUGHTFULLY โข Color-blind mode adds letter labels under every tube and a hex code beside the target. โข Reduce-motion support, full VoiceOver (including the docking machine, lever, and inventory), and Dynamic Type. โข Universal โ iPhone and iPad, portrait and landscape on iPad. UNIQUE, PREMIUM APP BUT COMPLETELY FREE โ NO ADS, NO TRACKING Color Bar is completely free: no ads, no tracking, nothing paywalled. If you're enjoying it, an optional tip jar (the heart on the home screen) supports development โ but it's entirely up to you, and tips unlock nothing. No accounts, no sign-up. Your progress lives on your device.
