What Color Patch is
Color Patch is a daily browser puzzle centered on color matching and wallpaper art. Each day a new wallpaper appears with one patch missing, and your objective is to identify the color that belongs in that spot, choosing from four options. You have three attempts per board; incorrect picks remain visible so you can keep them in mind while considering the rest. A correct guess restores the wallpaper to its complete form and may also unlock a download of the completed image. The game is free to play, and you can enter as a guest without registering. A Google sign-in adds a persistent member account with points tied to how quickly you solve. The daily board updates at midnight Denver time, and a practice mode cycles through past wallpapers for extra color-matching challenge. With a compact daily format, Color Patch offers a gentle but focused visual exercise in recognizing shades and tints.
How to play
Look at the missing patch in today's wallpaper image, then consider which of the four color options best matches that area. You may make up to three guesses total; wrong picks stay marked so you can compare them with the remaining choices. If you choose the correct color, the wallpaper is restored and you may unlock a download depending on your login status and attempt number. If you use all three tries without a match, the correct answer is shown. Practice mode lets you move through past boards one after another, and signing in with Google links your progress and points to your account.
Tips
- Use Practice mode for more play after the daily board; it serves past wallpapers one after another, letting you sharpen your eye for matching hues.
- If you are signed in, try to solve on an earlier guess: first try gives 1.5 points, second try gives 1 point, and third try gives 0.5 points.
- A guest can get the download unlock only with a first-try correct solve, so consider all options carefully before committing to your first choice.
- Sign in with Google to keep your points and progress tied to your account; guest progress lives only in the browser and does not carry to other devices.
Common questions
Do I need an account to play the daily puzzle?
No, the daily puzzle is open to guests. You can play without signing in, but guest progress is stored only in the browser. Guests also receive a download only when they solve today's board on the first try. Signing in with Google gives you a persistent point balance.
How are points awarded?
Members earn points only on the daily board. A first-try solve earns 1.5 points, a second-try solve earns 1 point, and a third-try solve earns 0.5 points. Past puzzles do not award points, and guests do not keep a point balance. Members spend 1 point to download an HD wallpaper.
When does a new puzzle appear?
A new puzzle is published every day at midnight Denver time. Each daily board offers four color options and allows up to three guesses. Once you solve it or use all guesses, the correct answer is shown.
Can I play older wallpapers?
Yes. Practice mode lets you play past boards one after another. Those boards do not award points, but they give you more chances to work on color matching. The wallpaper library contains 97 wallpapers.
