Three Color-Based Apps for Beach Days: Huedoku, Pigments, and Spin
Artribune reviews three mobile apps that use color and memory challenges to engage users artistically. Huedoku, available on iOS, tasks players with reproducing correct color sequences from hints, testing visual memory and acuity. It offers paid additional levels featuring color palettes from famous artists like van Gogh, Annika Banko, and Kit Gentry, as well as palettes from world cities. Pigments, on iOS and Android, is a multiplayer or solo game based on primary and secondary colors, requiring players to mix them under time pressure. Its award-winning interface allows spectators to observe ongoing challenges. Spin – a minimal art memory game, exclusive to iOS, focuses on remembering 3D shapes, predominantly cubes, and color facets to improve memory. A base version tests sound and color recall, demanding quick reflexes and concentration. All three apps are free with optional in-app purchases.
