Color Mixer — Colour Theory Game for Kids

Color Mixer

For parents

What this teaches

Show your child a target colour and a small palette. They tap source colours to fill the recipe slots — two for primaries and tints, three for shades like brown or slate. Across 10 levels the palette widens from primaries to a full eight-colour set, recipes get longer, and a per-target timer fades in at level 4. Failure is amber, never red, and the climb only goes up.

Age: Best for ages 5-8

How to play

Tap Let's mix to start at your saved level.
Look at the target colour at the top.
Tap source colours to fill the drop slots.
When all slots fill, your mix is checked.

What to watch for

When a mix misses, ask which two colours your child thought would make the target — surfaces whether they're recalling the recipe or guessing by brightness.
