Paint Bucket

Read full description

FIVE GAME MODES Powered by a physically-based pigment mixing model (Kubelka-Munk) instead of simple RGB averaging - colors blend the way they really would on canvas. Classic Mix: Match a target color by adding the right paint drops in the right amounts. Early levels teach simple hue shifts; later levels require finding subtle in-between tones. Guess the Color: Watch a sequence of drops get mixed, then pick the resulting color from four choices. Train your eye for how colors combine. Color Architect: Race against the clock to hit multiple target colors in a row using a shared palette. Tests speed and precision under pressure. Odd One Out: Spot the one tile that's a slightly different shade among a set of near-identical colors. A test of color perception. Capture the Color: Memorize a color shown for a few seconds, then recreate it from memory using hue, saturation, and brightness sliders. See how close your memory really is. FEATURES 800+ hand-designed levels across four mixing modes. Endless procedurally-generated rounds in Capture the Color mode. A smooth difficulty curve that goes from simple color recognition to genuine color-mixing skill. Casual Experience: No accounts or logins required - just pick up and play. Ads only appear between levels, never interrupting your active color-mixing focus. Whether you're a designer sharpening your color sense, an artist studying pigment behavior, or just someone who enjoys a satisfying puzzle, Paint Bucket has a mode for you!
