Hues and Cues

Hues and Cues is color gamut communication. Experts anchor clues to gamut extremes and account for how opponents perceive saturation vs hue.

获胜要点

  • Clue to gamut edge (darkest, brightest) not the target square.
  • Use 'coral' not 'orange' when target is desaturated.
  • Track which gamut regions opponents confuse—blues/greens most common.
  • Give hue + lightness clue, not hue alone.

专家策略

  1. 1

    Gamut anchoring: 'the darkest blue' pins one axis; teammates interpolate. Direct color names cause center-clustering.

  2. 2

    Saturation calibration: 'dusty rose' vs 'hot pink' distinguishes adjacent squares—hue-only clues fail on pastel regions.

  3. 3

    Confusion zone mapping: most players confuse blue-green boundary; clue toward cyan or navy, never 'teal' without lightness modifier.

  4. 4

    Opponent history: track each player's offset from target—systematic right-shifters need left-anchored clues.

  5. 5

    Round 10: when behind, give polarizing gamut-edge clues forcing wide spreads—variance favors comeback.
