About Happy Color

Happy Color is a color by number game in which you turn a blank drawing full of numbers into a full-color illustration. Each number matches a shade in the palette: you just have to find the areas marked with that number and fill them in. You don't need to know how to draw or combine colors, because the final result is already planned out; your job is to reveal it little by little. If you like this relaxing style, Ludorex has more color by number games to keep on painting.

It's one of those painting games that work for both kids and adults: there's no timer, you can't lose, and you can leave a drawing half-finished to pick it up again later. Many people use it as a relaxing pastime, similar to adult coloring books.

How do you play Happy Color?

The mechanics are simple, but the drawings have lots of small areas, so it's best to go step by step:

Choose a design from the gallery that you feel like painting.
Select a number in the bottom bar: the regions that match that color are highlighted in the drawing.
Zoom in to see the tiny areas clearly and tap each one to fill it in.
When you finish all the areas of a number, that color is marked as completed.
Repeat with the rest of the numbers until the picture is finished.

Tips for playing better: Happy Color

Start with the numbers that have large areas, like backgrounds or leaves: the drawing takes shape quickly and then it's easier to find your way around the details.
Zoom in a lot on the shaded parts. In a flower like the rose on the cover, the petals are split into very thin strips of similar reds and it's easy to miss one.
If a number isn't marked as finished, scan the drawing with zoom looking for gaps: there's almost always a tiny area missing along an edge.
Work on one number at a time instead of jumping from color to color; that way you'll always know what's left to paint.

Happy Color FAQ

Is Happy Color a painting game for kids or for adults?

For both. Kids practice attention and number recognition, and adults enjoy it as a relaxing activity. Drawings with lots of small areas can feel long for younger kids, so it's a good idea for them to pick simple designs.
