Useful phone game for painting?

Abstraction

I try to avoid games on my phone, but I found this seems helpful for training my eye to pick value and colour subtleties when they are out of context.

@Abstraction, it looks useful and fun. What's this called and where can we get it? I've tried to find it from the image but no luck and there's nothing I can see in the image to tell us where it comes from.

'Color Puzzle:Offline Hue Game' by simplelife studio. I have no connection with them, just saying.

Thanks for this. I've played it for the past month and it's helped my beginner level colour appreciation. When I'm comparing my paint to a source I now approach it like it's part of the game. 

I've also found that reds and blues are easy compared to olives and browns.

@heartofengland Agree. You constantly have to ask yourself, darker or lighter, warmer or cooler. I made a lot of mud for years.

This app appears to be so sweet and innocent. Be advised that it is from China and it tracks your location, your usage, usage of other apps and websites.

Can I ask for a source for this, Denis? That a) SimpleLife studio is from China; & b) that it is tracking those things. I'd be interested to know what other apps are doing that.

source is the ipad App Store…. https://apps.apple.com/au/app/color-puzzle-hue-match-game/id1503654601

You can drill down from this point for more info.

Sorry several Apps do the same thing. The one I pointed to above is not the Simple Life Studio version.

This info is correct ….

It seems they are all doing it to some degree. Larger software developers are keen to increase revenue and many sell marketing data to other parties.

@Abstraction,

Thanks for the heads up on this. 

I have just downloaded and looking forward to playing later.

@Abstraction,

I got into it a bit when stuck at the airport due to flight delay.

I have only done around 5 levels so far. Some seemed really tricky initially but makes you really look.

Im hoping it will train my eye a little, as you mentioned, to see those subtleties.    

Abstraction

I certainly got better as I went. I got better at the trickier levels. I think...
