Video of the Project
If you love quick, addictive games that test your reflexes and memory, Clash of Colors is the perfect little challenge for you. This browser-based game, built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, is all about matching colors to their names as fast as you can. It’s simple, visually appealing, and surprisingly addictive—making it a great way to pass the time while giving your brain a fun workout.

What Makes Clash of Colors Special?

The game presents you with a color name (like "Red" or "Blue") and a set of color swatches. Your job is to click the swatch that matches the name before time runs out. The faster and more accurately you play, the higher your score climbs. But be careful—wrong answers cost you precious time, and the game speeds up as you progress, keeping you on your toes.

One of the best things about Clash of Colors is its clean, intuitive design. The vibrant colors make it visually engaging, while the straightforward mechanics ensure anyone can jump right in without a learning curve. Plus, since it’s fully responsive, you can enjoy it on both desktop and mobile devices.

Behind the Scenes: How It Works

Under the hood, the game relies on basic web technologies—HTML for structure, CSS for styling, and JavaScript to handle the logic. The code is lightweight and easy to understand, making it a great project for beginners who want to see how a simple interactive game is built. The scoring system tracks your progress, encouraging you to beat your own high score with each playthrough.

Why You Should Give It a Try

Beyond being just a fun distraction, Clash of Colors actually helps sharpen your reaction time and color recognition skills. It’s the kind of game you can play in short bursts, whether you’re taking a break from work or just looking for a quick mental challenge. And since it’s open-source, you’re free to tweak it, add new features, or even use it as a starting point for your own game projects.

How to Play

Getting started is easy—just clone the repository from GitHub and open the index.html file in your browser. No installations, no complicated setup. If you’re feeling creative, you could even modify the colors, add new difficulty levels, or implement a timer mode to make the game even more intense.

Final Thoughts

Clash of Colors is a great example of how a few lines of code can create something entertaining and interactive. Whether you’re a developer looking for inspiration or just someone who enjoys casual games, this little project is worth checking out.
