About Color Mix
Color Mix is a colour mixing game where you paint a grey shape to match the little picture on the notepad. Drag your finger or mouse over the shape and each part takes on its colour. Some parts need a single colour, and some need two colours blended together, so the order you paint in matters.
That is what makes it a puzzle rather than a colouring book. Paint a mixing strip with one colour, then with another, and it turns into the blend you need, for example red and blue making purple. Paint a part too early and it comes out the wrong colour. When that happens you can undo the mistake and carry on instead of starting over. Long strokes of the right colour build a combo, and every finished picture pays coins. After the ten hand-made pictures every level gives one of the shapes a brand-new colour plan, so the mixes keep changing, and a clean picture with no slips earns three stars.
Spend coins in the shop on eight canvas colours, from chalk white to midnight, and on upgrades: Steady Hand undoes wrong strokes for you, and Coin Bonus raises what each level pays. There is a tutorial followed by ten hand-made pictures, which then come back in shuffled order while the level count keeps climbing. Color Mix runs in your browser on phones, tablets and computers, with no download.

How to play Color Mix
- Tap Tap to Start, then look at the notepad at the top: it shows the finished picture.
- Hold and drag over the grey shape to paint it. Each part takes its colour as you touch it.
- Paint the single-colour parts first, then the strips that mix two colours, so the blended parts come out right.
- Match the whole picture to finish the level and collect your coins.
Controls
- Computer
- Hold the left mouse button and move over the shape to paint it.
- Phone and tablet
- Touch the shape and slide your finger over it to paint.
Tips
- Study the notepad before you touch anything and work out which parts are blends of two colours.
- Drag slowly: a quick swipe can skip small parts or brush a part you did not mean to paint.
- Use the reset button in the top corner if you want a fresh start without losing the level.
- Steady Hand is worth buying early: it quietly undoes a wrong stroke each level.
