Subtle by design

The differences keep shrinking.

Early rounds teach the rhythm. Later rounds tighten the colour offsets until observation matters more than speed. A wrong choice costs a life; five consecutive matches can win one back.

The rules

Compare the target with the candidate swatches and select the exact match. Differences become smaller as the level rises, so early instinct gives way to careful comparison.

What makes it different

The difficulty curve is visible and immediate: the task never changes, but your eye must become more precise.
