Chroma

What is Chroma?

Chroma is a recipe puzzle disguised as a color swatch. The game gives you a target shade, a palette, and six attempts to build a mixture that lands close enough to the target.

There is no single secret recipe. Different combinations can produce a winning shade, so every attempt is an experiment: choose three colors, balance their percentages, and learn from the similarity score.

Chroma Game Rules

• Choose three shades from the available palette.
• Adjust their proportions so the full mix adds up to 100 percent.
• Submit up to six mixtures for the daily target.
• Each result reports how close the mixed shade is to the target.
• A match of at least 95 percent counts as a solve; order does not matter.

The hard part is separating hue from proportion. A promising set of ingredients can still fail if one color dominates the blend.

How To Play Chroma?

1. Inspect the target: decide which two color families appear strongest and what undertone may be hiding underneath.
2. Build a baseline: choose three plausible palette colors and start with a balanced mix.
3. Read the percentage: a low score calls for new ingredients; a high score usually calls for smaller proportion changes.
4. Refine, do not restart: move five or ten percentage points at a time when the mixture is already close.
5. Cross the line: reach 95 percent or better before the sixth attempt.

Chroma Strategy & Tips

Use the first guess to test a broad theory, then change one variable at a time. If you replace a shade and alter every percentage simultaneously, the feedback cannot tell you which change helped. Near the finish, make small adjustments and watch the mixed preview rather than chasing a perfect-looking numerical recipe.
