The Power of the White Reference

What sets Color Meter apart from other apps is its innovative use of a white paper reference. By compensating (automatic calibration) for the color and intensity of the ambient light, Color Meter ensures that the color measurements are more precise and reliable. It is like having a professional meter in your pocket.

Perfect for artists, designers, decorators, researchers, print technicians, photographers and anyone interested in colors.

Use the app as for color calibration, experiments, color identification, palette creation, color analysis and more - the possibilities are endless.

Color Meter is a simple yet engaging game that tests your ability to identify and match colors. The game presents you with a series of color swatches and challenges you to select the swatch that matches a given target color.

Gameplay

The game consists of several levels, each with a different target color. At the start of each level, a color wheel appears on the screen, displaying a range of hues and shades. Your task is to rotate the color wheel and select the swatch that most closely matches the target color.

As you progress through the levels, the target colors become more challenging to identify. The game introduces subtle variations in hue, saturation, and brightness, requiring you to pay close attention to the nuances of each color.

Scoring

Each level is timed, and your score is based on both accuracy and speed. Matching the target color quickly earns you more points, while taking longer or selecting an incorrect swatch deducts points.

Power-Ups

To aid you in your quest, Color Meter provides several power-ups that can enhance your performance. These power-ups include:

* Color Boost: Temporarily increases the brightness and saturation of the color swatches, making them easier to distinguish.

* Time Freeze: Pauses the timer for a short duration, giving you more time to consider your choice.

* Hint: Reveals the correct swatch for a few seconds, providing you with guidance when you're stumped.

Difficulty

Color Meter offers a range of difficulty levels to cater to players of all skill levels. The Easy mode provides a gentle introduction to the game, while the Hard mode challenges even the most experienced color enthusiasts.

Conclusion

Color Meter is a fun and addictive game that combines simple gameplay with a surprising level of depth. It's an excellent way to test your color perception, improve your color recognition skills, and enjoy a few moments of casual entertainment. Whether you're a seasoned color expert or just looking for a relaxing and engaging game, Color Meter has something to offer.
