Colorama: Color Memory

Fetih Çağı

About this game

An object appears in grey. You know exactly what it is. But do you remember its colour?

Colorama never shows you the answer first. Other colour games flash a swatch for three seconds and then ask you to recall it — what they measure is your last three seconds. Here there is no reference at all. You turn two sliders and rebuild the red of a flag, the green of a motorway sign, the shirt your team plays in, from memory. What gets measured is your long-term, cultural colour memory.

Then the real colour is revealed, side by side with your guess.

HOW IT PLAYS
• The object arrives in greyscale — named, but colourless.
• Two sliders: hue and vividness. You build the colour you believe it is.
• Confirm, and the true colour opens next to yours.
• Scoring uses CIELAB ΔE2000, so the game measures the difference your eye actually sees, not raw RGB distance. Missing a blue costs the same as missing a green.
• Brightness is fixed per object and never exposed to a slider, which keeps a perfect hit reachable.

MODES
• Daily — the same 5 objects for everyone, one attempt a day, streak tracked.
• Single player — pick a category and play rounds of 10, as long as you like.
• Duel — the same 10 objects for both sides, 30 seconds each, closest guess wins. If no human opponent is available you are matched with a simulated one, whose name begins with the word "Bot" on screen and who carries a robot badge instead of a flag.
• Ranking — where your duel average places you. Every other row on that board is a simulated player, and the screen says so.
• Private room — send a code to a friend and play the same objects together.

CATEGORIES
• Flags — flags everyone knows, shades no one is sure of
• Traffic & Warning — the sign colours you pass every day
• Kits — you know your team, but do you know its colours?
• Games & Toys — from cube puzzles to controller buttons
• Vehicle Colours — taxis, race cars, diggers, anything on wheels
• Colour Names — what shade is "turquoise", exactly?
• Brand Colours — the shelf colours you walk past every week
• Mixed — a random draw from all of them

THE CATALOGUE IS THE POINT
More than 270 objects, and every colour traces back to a source: official flag specifications, industry colour standards, road-marking norms, established colour names. Anything whose colour drifts from one example to the next — fruit, flowers, animals — never made it in, because a question without a defensible answer cannot be scored. Objects with a weak source were left out too.

AN HONEST GAME
• No ads.
• No in-app purchases.
• No account needed to play.
• Works offline; only playing live with a friend needs a connection.
• No tracking, no analytics, no ad identifier. Your stats live on your phone; when you sign in to play live they are also backed up under your anonymous identity so a new phone does not lose them. Both can be wiped from Settings.
• When we have no data, we show no number. You will never read "you beat 97% of players" here unless it is true.

ACCESSIBILITY AND LANGUAGES
High-contrast mode, respect for the system reduce-motion setting, separate switches for sound and haptics. Ten languages: English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese. Arabic flips the whole layout right to left.

Some objects are shown as real photographs rather than drawings. Those photographs come from licensed sources; author, licence and source link are listed one by one on the in-app credits screen.

Share a round as a single image and ask a friend how close they can get.

Note: Colorama is not a colour-blindness test or a vision test. It measures how accurately your memory stores colour, not what your eye sees right now.
