How Odd Color Out works
Odd Color Out is simple: look at nine color tiles, find the one that is slightly different, and finish ten rounds.
Core rule
Nine tiles, one odd color
Each round shows a 3x3 grid. Eight tiles use the same base color, and one tile is shifted a little in hue, saturation, or brightness. Tap the tile that does not belong.
Difficulty
The difference gets smaller
The first rounds use a clearer shift, then the game reduces the gap. Later tiles can look almost identical, so the answer may hide in the pattern.
How to look
Scan before you tap
Sweep across the rows, then compare any suspicious tile with its neighbors. A quick whole-grid scan usually works better than staring at one square.
Result
Ten choices make the card
After ten rounds, the result card shows your correct answers, accuracy, best streak, and a compact round summary. You can share the card as a PNG.
