Hex Guess
A browser game where you guess a color's hex code from sight.
Hex Guess is a game mode within Color Memory Game that displays a color swatch and challenges you to type its six-digit hex code. Guesses are evaluated using CIEDE2000 color difference rather than pure digit matching, awarding points based on how visually close your shade is to the target. It serves as a lighthearted training tool for designers and developers looking to sharpen their RGB and hex code intuition.
What it's for
- Train your ability to estimate RGB channel values and hex codes by sight
- Test color matching and hex recall skills against colleagues or friends
- Warm up before front-end design or CSS styling work
Features
- Five rounds per game with up to 50 total possible points
- Visual swatch comparison revealing the target and guessed colors side-by-side
- Perceptual accuracy scoring powered by the CIEDE2000 color difference formula
- Detailed feedback on hue accuracy and brightness shifts
- Part of the broader Color Memory Game suite featuring multiple color challenge variants

Why it was saved
- @CharlesPattson: A fun training/demonstration game for designers to test and show off hex code recall; the interface also doubles as a clean example of a minimal game UI.
