Scrabble for color
Spectralopus is a tile-laying strategy game where the words are palettes. Place colored tiles in a row or column on the 9×9 board. The hues you arrange together must form a recognized harmony — a relationship from color theory — or the move is rejected.
You don't need to know color theory to start. Spectralopus teaches you the wheel as you play. Within a few rounds you'll start to see palettes everywhere.
The four palettes
Monochrome
Same hue, repeated. The quiet chord.
Analogous
Three hues sitting side by side. The gradient.
Complementary
Two hues from opposite sides of the wheel.
Triadic
Three evenly-spaced hues. Four times the score.
