Color Battle
Challenge a friend to a live color matching duel
How it works
A one on one match of the Color Guesser round: two players, the same five color names, and a winner on total score.
Start a match
Type a nickname and create a battle. You get a six character code and a link to send. Your opponent opens the link, picks a nickname of their own, and lands in the same lobby. Nobody needs an account.
When both of you press ready, the match starts. A battle holds exactly two players, so a third person with the link can't join.
Play the five rounds
Each round shows a color name, like Orangeville, with no swatch. You drag the picker to the shade you think it is and lock it in.
Both players get the same five names in the same order, drawn fresh for every battle, so neither of you has seen them in today's daily challenge.
How the winner is decided
Each guess is scored from 0 to 100 on how far it sits from the real color, measured with ΔE94, a color difference formula built around how people see color rather than raw RGB numbers.
The five round scores add up to a total out of 500. The higher total wins. If the totals tie, the player who finished first takes it.
Frequently asked
Six questions people ask before their first battle.
1How do I challenge a friend to a color battle?
Enter a nickname and press Create Battle. Send your friend the link or the six character code. Once they join and you both press ready, the five rounds begin.
2Do we play the same colors?
Yes. Both players get the same five color names in the same order. They are picked fresh for each battle, separate from the daily challenge.
3How is a battle scored?
Every round is worth up to 100 points, based on the ΔE94 distance between your pick and the real color. The five rounds add up to a total out of 500, and the higher total wins.
4What happens if we tie?
The player who finished all five rounds first wins the tie.
5Do I need an account to battle?
No. A nickname is enough. Battles are free and there is nothing to sign up for.
6How many people can play in one battle?
Two. A battle is one on one. For a group, start a league instead, where everyone plays the daily challenge and lands on one shared table.
