Brands

The brand-logo series of Toon Tone. Each round names a specific corporate shade, Coca-Cola's Disc Red, Burger King's Flame Orange, Samsung Blue, and hands you three vertical sliders for hue, saturation and brightness. You rebuild the colour from memory. The logo sitting beside the sliders repaints itself live in whatever shade you are currently dialling, which turns out to be a much crueller mirror than a plain swatch. Toon Tone is a free browser game credited on the site to a solo developer, Sam, and Brands is one of its four series alongside Cartoons, Flags and a Community pool of player-made questions. A game runs five rounds, and the brand pool is backed by a library of 64 studied shades, from Ferrari Scudetto Yellow to Discord Blurple. What separates it from the hex-guessing dailies is the prompt: the target is never shown, only named, so the exercise runs on brand recall rather than on reading a swatch.

1. Read the prompt. It names the company and the shade, and that is all you get.
2. Drag the three strips: rainbow for hue, grey ramp for saturation, black ramp for brightness. The logo recolours as you move.
3. Tap the lightbulb hint only if you are stuck. It narrows one slider's range and takes 1 point off that round.
4. Hit the check mark to lock the round in. There is no second try.
5. Read the result card: your HSB, the target HSB, and the accuracy message that says how close you landed.
6. Play out all five rounds, then check the average on the summary against today's leaderboard and the all-time one.

Everyone is certain they know what Coca-Cola red looks like. Five rounds here is a brisk demonstration that you know the family and very little else. It suits designers, brand people and anyone who enjoys being precisely wrong, because the scoring is specific rather than vague: your HSB and the official one side by side, and a number out of 10 computed in sRGB. Skip it if you cannot picture a logo unprompted, since nothing is there to compare against and you will drift around the middle of the scale all game. A full five-round run takes about three to five minutes and needs no signup.

Each round is graded on how close the colour lands to the official sRGB value, from 10.00 for a match down to 0.00 for pure white, with hue weighted most heavily and a small bonus for hitting it exactly. The result card sets your HSB reading against the target HSB and adds an accuracy message, so a miss reads as either the wrong hue or a slider parked too low. A hint costs a flat 1 point on that round. Submitting is final, with no second attempt. The summary averages the five rounds and places that average against today's leaderboard and the all-time one.

Questions made by players, flagged as new in the series switcher.

• Brightness is where the points leak away. Brand colours are engineered to shout: Burger King's orange reads B100, Coca-Cola's red B96, WhatsApp green B83. Leaving that slider at mid-scale caps your score no matter how well you find the hue.
• Saturation runs high for the same reason. Telegram Blue is S83, Samsung Blue S88, Coca-Cola red a flat S100. If you are hedging toward pastel you are already losing two points.
• Hue carries the most weight in the score, and there is a small bonus for landing it exactly. Settle the rainbow slider first, then argue with saturation and brightness.
• Corporate blues are the trap in the other direction. Pepsi Logo Blue, Visa Blue and PlayStation Blue all sit dark, so the vivid setting that rescues a red will overshoot them badly.
• Spend the hint on a shade you genuinely cannot place. It narrows one slider but costs a flat point, so burning it on a colour you had roughly right takes more than it gives back.
• After a run, open the brand study page for the shade you butchered. Each one carries the logo with the target area marked plus its HEX, RGB, HSB and HSL values, which is how an abstract miss turns into a number you remember.
