Description: Every day, everyone gets the same real painting(pulled from public domain museum collections like the Met, Rijksmuseum, Cleveland, National Gallery, and a few others) shown to you as a muted, unrestored version.
Your job is to mix real historical pigments (lead white, ultramarine, vermilion, and others) to match the colors, using an actual Kubelka-Munk pigment-mixing model under the hood rather than just matching RGB values. So a genuinely wrong pigment choice can look close but never quite blend right, the way real paint actually behaves.
You're scored per passage of the painting. There's no way to "lose", just a range from a rough first pass(Underpainting) up to a nearly perfect match(Virtuoso). A really strong single passage can earn its own separate bonus(Masterstroke) even if the overall piece doesn't land perfectly.
It's a Wordle-style daily format. One puzzle, shared by everyone, once a day. I've tried to keep the whole thing pretty forgiving. Missing a day doesn't wreck a streak in any dramatic way, and every tier of result still shows you the fully restored painting at the end, even a rough one.
It's web-based right now(best played in a mobile browser as an installed/bookmarked PWA), adn it’s still pretty early.
A few specific things I'd genuinely love feedback on:
- Does the pigment-mixing feel satisfying, or just fiddly?
- Does the tier system (the different named results you can land on) make sense on a first play, with zero explanation? – Does missing a day feel forgiving, or does it still sting more than I think it does? – Any specific painting/passage that felt unfairly hard to match?
