How to Play Toon Tone

1A cartoon character appears with one feature highlighted — hair, skin, costume, or an object they're known for.
2The feature starts in a random color. Use the HSB color picker to match the character's original color from memory.
3Submit your guess — receive a score from 0.00 to 10.00 based on how closely your color matches the original.
4Complete all 5 rounds. Your average score is posted to the live leaderboard.

How Scoring Works

Toon Tone uses CIE76 Delta-E — the same perceptual color-difference formula used in professional print and display calibration. A score of 10 is a perfect match; anything above 8 is considered expert-level.

9.5 – 10.0Perfect match

8.0 – 9.4Expert eye

6.0 – 7.9Good attempt

4.0 – 5.9Off the mark

0.0 – 3.9Way off

Tips & Strategy

→Cartoon colors are rarely maximum saturation — most fall in the 65–85 saturation range.
→Brightness usually sits between 40–80, not at the extremes.
→Focus on the character's base color — not shadows or highlights in any specific scene.
→Play in a well-lit room. Screen brightness and ambient light can skew your color perception.
→Trust your first impression — the longer you stare, the more your judgment drifts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Toon Tone free to play?

100% free. No account, no downloads, no ads. Open the page and play instantly on any device.

What is HSB and why use it?

HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) maps closely to how humans perceive color — it's far more intuitive than RGB or hex codes. Hue sets the color family, saturation sets its vividness, brightness sets how dark or light it is.

When does the leaderboard reset?

The Last 24h board clears daily at midnight UTC. All-Time scores are permanent. Scores of 8.00+ earn Top Scorer recognition.

Can I play on mobile?

Yes — the color picker supports touch drag on iOS and Android. The layout adapts for smaller screens automatically.

How many characters are there?

Over 50 characters spanning Western cartoons, anime, and classic animation — from 1920s Disney to 2020s anime. New characters are added regularly.
