How to play the flag color game

Updated August 30, 2026

Five rounds, one color wheel, one color memory. Here is exactly how a game runs.

How the game works

The flag color game shows part of a country flag with one section highlighted. You rebuild that color from memory by dragging around the color wheel and sliding the brightness bar, then lock in your guess. Each game runs five rounds worth 10 points each, so a perfect run scores 50. No account, no download, free to play.

The five steps

  1. A flag appears with one part highlighted. Picture the whole flag in your head before you touch anything.
  2. Drag around the color wheel for hue and saturation, then slide the brightness bar until the preview matches the color you remember.
  3. When your color looks right, submit the guess to end the round.
  4. You get 0 to 10 points for how close your color is, and the real color is shown next to yours.
  5. A game is five rounds. Round scores add up to a total out of 50, and your best score is saved in your browser.

What each control does

Hue

Hue moves you around the color wheel: red on the right, then yellow, green, blue, and purple as you go around. Drag the wheel, or use the Hue slider under Fine tune. Set this first when you know the color family, because it does the heavy lifting.

Saturation

Saturation sets how intense the color is. The center of the wheel is gray, the rim is fully vivid. Most flag colors sit well above the midpoint.

Brightness

Brightness decides how light or dark the color is. Slide the bar under the wheel: bright colors on the left, black on the right. White parts of a flag live near the left end, black parts on the right.

Tips for higher scores

  • Picture the whole flag before you touch a control. A second of recall beats trial and error.
  • Get the hue close first, then fine-tune saturation and brightness. Hue mistakes cost the most points.
  • Many flags share the same reds, blues, and greens. Trust your instinct on colors you have seen before.
  • Watch the reveal screen. Seeing your guess next to the real color trains your memory for the next round.
