Concept & Gameplay

HueHunt was born out of a fascination with color theory. It's a mobile-first color matching game where players must mix primary colors to match a target hue. Unlike simple games, HueHunt includes complex modes like **Hardcore (targets are hidden während mixing)** and **Memory (recalling palette sequences)**, making it a true test of visual acuity.

Smart Features

The game leverages AI to provide real-time critiques of color mixes, explaining why a specific shade is off (too much blue, lacks saturation, etc.). The **Scanner/Image Analyzer** tool allows users to pick a color from their real-world environment (via photo upload) and immediately jump into a challenge to match that exact color.
