Happy Color®: Color by Number

A small world where creativity can breathe freely: Talk about Happy Color®: Coloring Book

Imagine a digital art studio where every time you make a stroke, the picture becomes vivid as if it has been enchanted-there is no trouble of splashing paint, and there is no collapse of discovering that the colors have been painted halfway through the painting. It is purely just relax, decompress, and awaken the little painter in his heart who is overwhelmed by life. That's right,"Happy Color®: Coloring Book" is such an eye-catching coloring application. It was created by the open-minded guys at X Development Studio, and transformed mobile phones and iPads into exclusive coloring playground. Whether you are a three-year-old child or a centenary, as long as you click on it, you can plunge into the ocean of colors and forget time.

Those features that make you can't help but "wow"

After all, the core experience of "Happy Color®" is that it is as simple as breathing, but it also contains a lot of careful thinking. Its material library is so large that you can't even read through peaceful lakes, cute cartoon characters, even starry skies and flowers of flowers. The interface responds so ridiculously fast that you slip your finger and the colors are filled in obediently. The silky feeling is like drawing on real paper. The most amazing thing is that it has an asynchronous multi-person collaboration feature, which sounds very mysterious, right? In fact, you can throw the painted painting into the community and wait for others to like it or give suggestions. You don't have to be online in real time. It's like putting the painting on the back wall of the classroom and reading everyone's messages after class. In this way, coloring is no longer a game for yourself, but a game where a group of people encourage each other and steal from each other across the screen. Moreover, it is also very considerate. Whether it is a disabled party or a great god, you can find your own rhythm and will not let you lose heart as soon as you come forward.

The interface looks like this: clean, but hidden treasure

As soon as you open the app, you will first see a piece of minimalist white, like opening a brand new sketchbook, and you can't help but breathe lightly. The color palette is colorful but neatly arranged, just like picking colors from a crayon box when I was a child. The classified menu slides very smoothly. The designer obviously didn't pile up a mess of buttons everywhere, but there was no missing function. When coloring, the picture responds as fast as lightning, and the feeling of "applying wherever you click" almost makes people forget that this is an operation on the screen. Newbies are not panicked at all, and the icons and prompts are clear; veterans can also find many shortcuts and custom small eggs to increase coloring efficiency. The whole experience, it's the kind of... You just wanted to try it, but two hours passed by when you looked up, and you didn't even know it was dark.

Different "social graffiti" and "scary colors"

To be honest, there are many coloring apps on the market, but what really catches my eye on Happy Color® is the asynchronous multi-person collaboration-it doesn't lock your work locally like other apps, but encourages you to share it, accept community reviews and be bombarded with inspiration. You don't have to be online at the same time as others, just like putting your work in a public gallery. People passing by can stop and admire it or leave a few comments. In this way, every painting is no longer a lonely carnival, but becomes a silent creative relay-the starry sky you finish painting may become the source of inspiration for someone else's next painting. In addition, its color reproduction is also frighteningly high, and the colors displayed on the screen are almost exactly the same as real pigments. This is a lifesaver for obsessive-I finally don't have to collapse in the chagrin of "I thought I applied blue and it looked like gray." The fact that digital technology can achieve this level really makes people want to give the development team a thumbs up.

After saying so much, is it worth it?

Looking back,"Happy Color®" is full of features, beautiful interface, and new social gameplay. It is definitely outstanding among a bunch of coloring apps. If you just want a thought-less way to relax, or secretly release the creativity squeezed by work, or want to find like-minded people in a small community to play with color blocks-it's just for you. Tailored. Of course, if you are a professional illustrator who draws on an iPad and pursue hard-core tools such as layers, brushes, and psd exports, it may be more like a cozy little toy than a heavy weapon. But then again, for the vast majority of people who like to apply two strokes casually or simply want to relieve stress, this app is really like a brightly lit small studio with the door open at all times and waving at you: "Hey, come in and paint for a while, the paint is ready."
