About Coloring Pixels
Coloring Pixels is a casual indie title where each level presents a grid of numbered, uncolored pixels. Players select a color from a palette that matches each number and paint the corresponding pixels until the whole level is correctly colored. The game includes over 1000 levels, with more than 90 available for free, offering many hours of low‑pressure play.
The title provides dark mode, optional hint settings, and a range of accessibility options such as font choices, rebindable controls, and contrast adjustments. It supports single‑player play, Steam achievements, Steam Cloud saves, and Family Sharing on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Gameplay Mechanics
Each level contains numerous uncolored pixels, each marked with a number. The number indicates which color from the player's palette should be applied to that pixel. Players select a color and paint all matching pixels, aiming to color every pixel correctly to finish the level.
Finishing a level requires that every pixel be correctly colored; the description does not mention time limits or penalties for mistakes. The core loop is simply: choose a color, apply it to its numbered pixels, and repeat until the board is complete.
- Focus on one color at a time to reduce missed pixels.
- Enable hints only when you are uncertain about a number‑color match.
