About ColorChase

What is ColorChase?

ColorChase is a free daily color palette guessing game that challenges your color perception and visual memory. Inspired by the global phenomenon of daily word games, we created ColorChase to bring the same addictive, brain-teasing fun to the world of colors. Every day at 9 AM, a new 5-color palette is generated, and players worldwide have 6 chances to guess it correctly.

Whether you're a graphic designer looking to sharpen your color eye, an artist exploring color relationships, or simply someone who enjoys a good daily puzzle, ColorChase offers an engaging way to develop your chromatic intuition. The game combines the satisfaction of puzzle-solving with the educational benefits of color theory practice.

Unlike traditional color matching games, ColorChase doesn't just test your ability to see differences—it teaches you to think about colors systematically. With each guess, you'll learn to break down colors into their component parts: hue (the color family), saturation (intensity), and brightness (lightness or darkness). This analytical approach to color makes the game both challenging and educational.

How ColorChase Compares to Similar Games

If you love Wordle, you'll appreciate ColorChase's familiar daily challenge structure. But instead of guessing letters, you're selecting colors from an interactive color wheel. The game provides immediate visual feedback, showing you exactly how close each of your guessed colors is to the target palette.

Compared to games like Hues and Cues or other color-based party games, ColorChase is designed for solo play with a focus on skill development. There's no randomness—success comes from developing your color perception abilities. The daily format creates a shared experience where you can compare your results with friends, family, and players around the world.

What makes ColorChase unique is its progressive difficulty. Early in your ColorChase journey, you might struggle to distinguish similar shades. But within weeks of daily play, you'll notice your color perception dramatically improving. Many players report becoming more confident in their design work, better at choosing paint colors, and more aware of the colors in their everyday environment.

The Educational Benefits of Playing ColorChase

ColorChase isn't just entertainment—it's a powerful learning tool disguised as a game. By playing daily, you're essentially giving yourself a micro-lesson in color theory without the formal instruction. Here's what you'll develop:

  • Color Perception: Train your eyes to distinguish subtle differences in hue, saturation, and brightness. This is the foundation of all color work in design, art, and photography.
  • Visual Memory: Improve your ability to remember and recall colors accurately—a crucial skill for designers who need to maintain color consistency across projects.
  • Color Relationships: Learn how colors interact with each other by seeing which combinations work in the daily palettes. You'll develop an intuitive understanding of complementary, analogous, and triadic color schemes.
  • Systematic Thinking: Develop a methodical approach to color selection rather than relying on guesswork. This analytical mindset transfers to other creative and problem-solving tasks.

Professional designers, photographers, and artists have told us that ColorChase has become part of their morning routine—a fun way to "warm up" their creative brain before starting work. Teachers have introduced it in art and design classes as an engaging way to teach color theory concepts that students actually enjoy practicing.

Why We Built ColorChase

As designers and developers, we've always been fascinated by the intersection of games and education. When daily word puzzle games took the world by storm, we saw an opportunity to create something similar for the visual community. Colors are universal—they transcend language barriers and connect with everyone differently.

We wanted to create a game that was immediately accessible to beginners yet endlessly challenging for experts. A game that you could play in under two minutes during your coffee break, but that would genuinely improve your skills over time. Most importantly, we wanted it to be completely free, with no ads or paywalls—just pure, daily color fun.

ColorChase represents our belief that learning should be playful and that games can be genuinely educational without feeling like homework. Every palette is carefully generated to be challenging yet achievable, offering a perfect balance of difficulty that keeps you coming back day after day.

When you play ColorChase, you're joining thousands of players worldwide who tackle the same palette every day.
