Hue Pour: Paint Mixing Puzzle

Blue and yellow make green here, like real paint. Pour pigments, swirl the bowl, and match one new swatch a day.

Hue Pour is a color mixing puzzle where paint behaves like real paint. Blue and yellow make green. Red and white make pink. Pour pigments into the bowl, swirl to blend, and match the swatch.

HOW IT PLAYS Each color mixing level shows one target swatch on a paper strip and two to five labelled pots of pigment around a ceramic bowl. Drag a pot over the bowl and hold to pour. The longer you hold, the more you pour. Swirl the bowl to blend, then submit. Your color and the target sit side by side, your match percent counts up, and you earn up to three stars and paint drops.

WHY IT FEELS DIFFERENT

• Real color mixing. Colors are mixed with a Kubelka-Munk pigment model, so they behave like paint on a palette, not like light on a screen. Most color games average screen colors and end up grey. Here, yellow and black make an olive tone.
• Scored the way color scientists score it. Your match uses CIEDE2000, the standard measure of how different two colors look to a person. The result shows the color distance (dE) too.
• Every target can be mixed. Each swatch is checked to be reachable from the pots on screen.
• Daily Palette. One swatch a day, the same for everyone. Keep your streak, set an optional reminder, and share a card that shows your score but never the color.
• Collection book. 80 named colors to collect, from Sap Green to Davy's Grey. Fill each page by mixing.
• Endless levels. After two fixed opening levels, levels are generated across six difficulty tiers, from Ultramarine and Cadmium Yellow to Burnt Sienna, Viridian and Payne's Grey.
• Plan your pours. From level 21 you get a set number of pours, so every color mixing choice counts.
• Hints when you want them. Reveal one pot's share of the recipe, to the nearest 10 percent.
• No game over. A level takes about a minute, and retries are free and unlimited.
