camwynI found the game I Love Hue on the Play store a while ago. The game presents you with a rectangle filled with a multicolor gradient, divided into a grid of tiny rectangles, then randomly scatters all but a few fixed rectangles around and leaves you to drag all of the colors back into place. Ideally, in as few moves as possible- there's ostensibly a world average for each board, but I don't sign into networks for games, so I just treat that number like a golf course's par for a given hole. The game gives you weirdly effusive praise for beating that number- "you great gleaming sunrise!", "you iridescent moonbeam!", "you sparkling unicorn!", etc.
There are ads every few levels. Each gradient board costs three 'prisms' to play. You get twelve free prisms per day in addition to the fifty or sixty you start with. Buy a prism pack and the ads go away. I come from the age of shareware, so I'm not as aggravated by this as I might be. I find the act of sorting tiny panels of color into a naturally flowing order to be soothing, and I'm okay with deciding a game is to my liking before ponying up cash.
Just... don't ask me to use any of the color vocabulary I've come up with inside my skull in front of any art students or color theorists. I got lucky; 'greige' is a real word. The others, not so much.
