Pigment

How to play Pigment

1. A small dish at the top shows the color to mix. Five colors make a game.
2. Tap a paint pot to drop one dollop into the bowl, or keep your finger on it to pour.
3. Stir the bowl with your finger. The match percentage appears once the paint is well mixed.
4. At 95% or more the color is matched and goes to your row of colors.
5. Too much of one paint? Tap the little minus under its pot, use Undo, or Empty the bowl.
6. Eight little jars hold glitter, pearl dust, stars, gold leaf, beads, confetti and hearts. When the target sparkles, its sparkle is the last touch that takes a good match to a perfect 100%. The small minus beside a jar takes a pinch back.

Tips

• Each color gives up to 3 stars: 1 for matching it, 2 if the glowing pot never had to help you, 3 for a perfect 100% made with the fewest drops possible.
• Think in proportions: two blue and one yellow is the same green as four blue and two yellow, but uses fewer drops.
• Black is very strong: start with a single drop.
• White softens any color. On Medium and Hard, pale shades always need it.
• Skip color moves on, but the skipped color earns no stars.

About Pigment

Pigment is a color mixing game. The paint behaves like real paint: dollops land thick and glossy, marble when you stir, and slowly blend into one color.

Colors mix the way pigments do, not the way light does: blue and yellow make green, red and yellow make orange, and every drop of black darkens everything. You learn by feel how colors are made.

Easy uses red, yellow and blue and accepts a very close color. Medium adds white for pale shades and asks for more precision. Hard adds black for deep shades and wants the true proportions.
