12 hand-picked daily colors -dle games, free to play in your browser.
Color -dles are daily puzzles built around hex codes, named hues, and color matching. The genre splits roughly in two: name-to-color games (you're given a name like "cornflower blue" and you pick the matching hue) and color-to-name games (you're shown a color and you have to identify it, either by name or by hex code). Most reset daily with three to five rounds.

Frequently asked questions about colors -dle games
- What's the best color -dle?
- Close Hue is the standout. You're given a color name and have to pick the matching hue from a continuous slider — points scale with how close you get to the actual color, so even a wrong answer earns partial credit. Five rounds a day, which is the right amount to play without burning out. Most other color -dles are all-or-nothing on each guess; the partial-credit scoring is what separates Close Hue.
- What's the difference between Colorle and Hexcodle?
- Both are hex-code guessers but they work differently. Colorle gives you Wordle-style feedback on individual hex digits — you guess a six-digit code and each character lights up green/yellow/grey. Hexcodle shows you the color and asks you to type the hex, then tells you how close each digit was. Colorle rewards pattern-matching on hex notation; Hexcodle rewards calibrated color perception. Both are good; pick based on whether you'd rather "crack the code" or "name the color."
- Are color -dles only for designers?
- No — the popular ones are deliberately accessible. Close Hue and Chroma are pure perception puzzles that don't require any technical knowledge. Hexcodle and Colorle are friendlier to people who've memorized a few hex codes, but the daily play loop is short enough that you build intuition fast. The harder ones (Colordle, Crayondle) require knowing specific color names from paint or crayon catalogs — niche, but a small audience genuinely loves them.
- Do color -dles work for color-blind users?
- It depends. Hexcodle and Colorle, which involve reading hex codes alongside a color swatch, are partially accessible — you can play the puzzle by analyzing the hex string even if you can't distinguish the color reliably. Pure perception games like Close Hue and Chroma assume normal color vision and won't be playable without modifications. None of the games in this category currently offer a dedicated color-blind mode that we're aware of.
