COLORGAME-Color Game Plus: Discover 5 Creative Ways to Boost Your Color Matching Skills
When I first started playing COLORGAME-Color Game Plus, I thought it would be just another casual color matching game to kill time during my commute. Boy, was I wrong. This game has completely transformed how I approach color coordination, not just in gaming but in my design work and even daily fashion choices. The way it trains your eyes to recognize subtle color relationships reminds me of how certain RPGs encourage exploration - much like the Dragon Quest III remake that added those brilliant sparkly spots across the overworld map.
You know what's fascinating? Both Color Game Plus and that DQIII remake understand something crucial about human psychology: we're natural explorers who love discovering hidden treasures. In DQIII, those conspicuous odd-looking spots on the map contained everything from recruitable monsters to amazing weapons that felt way beyond your current level. Similarly, Color Game Plus hides these incredible color combination possibilities that feel like discovering secret weapons for your visual arsenal. I've found at least 23 different advanced color schemes that the game doesn't explicitly teach you - you just stumble upon them while experimenting, much like finding those unexpected treasure chests in random map enclaves.
What really makes Color Game Plus stand out is how it turns what could be tedious practice into an adventure. Remember grinding for levels in traditional RPGs? The DQIII remake solved this by making exploration itself rewarding - you'd naturally level up while hunting for those sparkly spots. Color Game Plus does something similar. Instead of drilling color theory exercises, you're naturally developing your color matching skills while chasing high scores and discovering new palette combinations. I've probably improved my color recognition speed by about 40% since starting, and I wasn't even consciously trying to improve - I was just having fun.
The game's approach to progressive difficulty reminds me of how DQIII spaced out its points of interest. Initially, color combinations are straightforward, just like early game locations being relatively close together. But as you advance, the game expects you to venture further into complex color relationships, much like how later game areas in DQIII required more wandering between distant landmarks. I've noticed my ability to identify complementary colors in real-world environments has dramatically improved - I can now spot about 15-20 different shades in what I previously would have called "just blue sky."
One technique I've developed through Color Game Plus involves treating color spaces like exploration maps. When I'm designing websites now, I imagine I'm looking for those sparkly spots in DQIII - searching for unexpected color combinations that make the design pop. Last week, I discovered this incredible teal-and-mustard combination that I never would have considered before playing, and it's become my client's favorite color scheme. It feels exactly like finding overpowered gear early in an RPG - you know you've stumbled upon something special that gives you an unfair advantage.
The psychological aspect is what really blows my mind. Color Game Plus taps into that same satisfaction loop that makes exploration RPGs so addictive. Every time I unlock a new color combination, I get that same little dopamine hit as discovering a hidden NPC enclave in DQIII. I've tracked my progress over three months, and the correlation between playing Color Game Plus and my improved design work is undeniable - my color-related project revisions have decreased by roughly 65%, and clients specifically compliment my color choices about twice as often.
What's particularly clever is how Color Game Plus handles difficulty scaling. Much like how DQIII's overworld secrets provided natural pacing - giving you consumables when you needed them and amazing gear when you least expected it - the game knows when to challenge you and when to reward you. I've had sessions where I struggled for 45 minutes straight, then suddenly discovered three advanced techniques in rapid succession, similar to hitting a cluster of treasure spots in quick succession during exploration.
The transferable skills aspect still surprises me. Last month, I was helping my friend choose paint colors for her bakery, and I found myself instinctively applying Color Game Plus principles. I identified about 12 different white undertones she hadn't noticed and suggested a warm gray accent wall that made the pastry displays pop. She told me the colors made customers feel 30% more comfortable staying longer - though she might have just been being nice with that specific number.
After playing Color Game Plus for six months now, I've come to appreciate how it rewires your visual processing. It's not just about matching colors - it's about developing an explorer's mindset toward the visual world around you. Much like how DQIII's added exploration elements transformed wandering from grinding into discovery, Color Game Plus transforms color learning from study into adventure. I find myself noticing color relationships everywhere now - in supermarket packaging, sunset gradients, even the way shadows interact with colored surfaces. It's made the world about 70% more visually interesting, if I had to put a number on it.
The most valuable lesson Color Game Plus taught me is that mastery comes through joyful exploration rather than rigid practice. Those DQIII sparkly spots worked because they made every journey potentially rewarding, and similarly, every session with Color Game Plus feels like a new adventure in color discovery. I've recommended it to seventeen designer friends, and every single one has reported noticeable improvements in their color work within weeks. If you're looking to boost your color matching skills, this game provides the most enjoyable path I've found - and believe me, I've tried at least nine different color training methods before this one.
