Memory simplifies color
Your brain stores a rough idea of yellow, blue, or red, not the exact HSL value you saw on screen.
Cartoon color guessing
How well do you remember cartoon colors?
ToonTones turns familiar cartoon-style color memory into a fast browser game. You see a target shade, adjust hue, saturation, and lightness, then get a clean score after five rounds.
Why cartoon colors are hard to guess
Screen brightness changes everything
The same shade can feel warmer, duller, or brighter across phones, laptops, and monitors.
Famous colors feel obvious
Iconic colors look easy until you have to recreate them without a reference image.

Start by looking at the target shade as a real color, not as a character name. Ask whether it is warm or cool, vivid or muted, light or dark. That gives your memory three anchors before the shade disappears.
When the sliders appear, set hue first. Most cartoon color misses happen because the player remembers the right family, but lands too orange, too green, or too purple. Saturation and lightness are easier to tune once the hue is close.
For a stronger score, replay one family at a time. Yellow characters, blue mascots, and red game-style shades each train a different kind of color recall, so mixing them too quickly makes progress harder to see.
