Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about The Daily Hue, the free daily art and color guessing game at thedailyhue.com.
What is The Daily Hue?
The Daily Hue is a free daily browser game about art and color. Each day features a real artwork from museums and public collections. You guess one hidden color using hue, saturation, and lightness sliders in up to five tries. When you finish, you unlock a gallery of other artworks that share that same color.
How do you play The Daily Hue?
Open thedailyhue.com and move the three sliders to match the hidden color in the featured artwork. After each guess, arrows on the sliders show where the answer could still lie. Match the color to unlock today's color gallery, or use all five guesses to see the answer and explore related art.
Is The Daily Hue free?
Yes. The Daily Hue is free to play in your browser. You can play as a guest or create an account to save streaks, favorites, and scores.
Do I need an account to play?
No. You can play today's puzzle without signing in. An account lets you save streaks, favorites, leaderboard scores, and some collection features.
How is The Daily Hue different from Wordle?
Wordle is a word puzzle. The Daily Hue is a color-and-art puzzle: you match a hue from a real artwork using sliders, not letters. Each day highlights a painting, sculpture, ceramic, or other medium, and winning unlocks a gallery of related artworks in that color.
What artworks and museums does The Daily Hue use?
Puzzles feature real artworks from museum and open collections, including sources such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Art Institute of Chicago, National Gallery of Art, Rijksmuseum, and Smithsonian, along with artist-submitted works. Attribution and museum credit appear with each piece.

The Daily Hue is a website optimized for phones and desktops. Add thedailyhue.com to your home screen for quick access; a native app is not required to play.
