Toon Tone: guess the colors your memory swears it knows.
Cartoons, logos, and flags become color memory puzzles. Use hue, saturation, and brightness sliders, then see how close five rounds get to the real thing.
What color is SpongeBob's Body from SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)?
Pick your poison
Toon Tone prompts are grouped into packs. Tap one and jump straight in.
Each Toon Tone pack tests a different kind of color memory: childhood reruns burned some in, brands drilled others into you, and a few you'd swear you could draw from memory but can't quite name the hex code for.
Three sliders. Zero mercy.
Every Toon Tone round follows the same shape: the hard part is how wrong your memory turns out to be.
Get a prompt
"What color is a stop sign?" No picture, no swatch, just the name of a thing you know.
Mix your answer
Slide hue, saturation and brightness until the shape on screen looks right. One guess per round.
Face the radar
A score out of 10 and a color radar showing exactly which slider betrayed you.
That's what makes Toon Tone scoring fair: every axis counts on its own, so a perfect hue with washed-out brightness still shows up as a miss on the radar, and no single lucky slider can hide a bad guess.
Toon Tone FAQ
What is Toon Tone?
A free browser game about color memory. Each round names something familiar: a cartoon, a brand, a flag, or an everyday object, and you rebuild its color from memory with three sliders. Five rounds make a game.
Why is it called "Toon Tone"?
"Toon" for cartoon, "Tone" for the exact hue you're trying to recall. It's a color memory game, not a drawing app: you never pick from a palette, only from what's already in your head.
Why HSB sliders instead of a color picker?
A color picker lets you match a swatch. Three separate sliders make you commit to hue, saturation and brightness on their own, with no swatch to lean on, so the test is your memory, not your eye for hex codes.
How does Toon Tone score each round?
Each round scores 0.00–10.00 based on how visually close your color is to the real one. Your final score is the average of all five rounds.
What does Toon Tone's color radar chart show?
After you lock in a guess, the chart plots hue, saturation and brightness as three points on a triangle. A tight shape near the center means you nailed all three; a shape pulled toward one corner shows exactly which axis was off.
How close does a guess need to be to count?
There's no pass/fail cutoff. Scoring is continuous, so landing within a few degrees of hue or a few percent of saturation and brightness reads as spot on, while drifting further makes the score fall smoothly instead of dropping off a cliff.
How does the Toon Tone leaderboard work?
It ranks the best five-round averages of the last seven days.
Can I play the same pack more than once?
As many times as you want. Each game pulls a fresh set of five prompts from the pack's pool, so replaying isn't just repeating the same five answers. It's a real chance to beat your last score.
Is my score kept private?
Your device remembers your personal best, and only your best average appears on the public leaderboard if it's good enough to rank. There's no profile, history, or personal data attached to it.
Do I need an account to play Toon Tone?
No sign-up and nothing to install. Toon Tone runs entirely in the browser on any device, desktop or mobile, and your scores save locally: open the site, play, close the tab.
Does Toon Tone work on my phone?
Yes. The sliders are built for thumbs and the layout adapts to any screen size.
Is Toon Tone free to play?
Completely free, with every pack, every round and the leaderboard included. There's no premium tier and nothing to unlock.
Can I share my Toon Tone results?
Yes. After your fifth round you can copy a short result card as text or post it straight to X, handy for settling an argument with a friend who swears they remember better than you.
Will Toon Tone add new characters or packs?
Yes. Cartoons, brands and flags are live now, and a new pack is already in the works. New prompts get added over time, not just at launch.
