Color is a cool little colour matching game designed by interaction designers Maria Munuera and Mark MacKay for Method of Action. Your task is to mirror the displayed color by locating its position on the color wheel with your mouse. Easy as pie at first, but after the first challenge you have to pick out complementary, analogous, ternary, and even quaternary combinations. There’s also a colorblind-friendly version! I couldn’t imagine how this would work at first, but it uses shapes as a substitute for primary colors and changes their appearance as you move along the wheel.
I managed to score an 8.3 out of 10, as I started to get rather confused towards the end! Test your colour skills and see if you can do better!
Method of Action have a number of ther similar web apps, developed as part of their peer-to-peer course. They will cover three subjects — design, entrepreneurship, and gardening — when it launches this spring. Each subject will have a number of different missions to be completed and judged by more experienced community members. As you progress, you will eventually become an experienced community member yourself and able to judge too.
This all sounds very exciting and I cannot wait to hear more. These games are very addictive, I’m just going to have a coffee and play the shape type game. Hoping for a high score!
