Color mixing is as easy to learn as the ABC. In the game you can use the ghost as a help that makes it easy at the beginning of playing Chromania. When you become familiar and a master of this game, you can switch the ghost off. It is not necessary to learn the rules below by heart but if you have or become the feeling which colors mix with which other you have an advantage to put your tactics into a higher score by thinking your positioning and mixing of your drops ahead.

The three rules on example the «Classic»-modus:

Rule A)
The combination colors orange, green and violet comprise their adjacent colors.

Rule B)
The complementary colors are opposite. Two complementary colors mixed together always become grey (grey corresponds to the mix of all three primary colors).

Rule C)
Adjacent colors cannot be mixed, nor the combination colors. For example, orange and red cannot be mixed because red is already included in orange (that is, orange is made of red and yellow). As well orange, green and violet cannot be mixed each other.

The rules A) – C) also describes that the immediate mixing of three primary colors always produces grey. The order in which the colors are mixed does not matter.

For each of the three color systems there is a Chromagram. It describes the three color mixing rules (please see Welcome page).

Color Systems

The classic-color-system is the most intuitive of the three color systems. It describes the color mixing as it is by painting on a paper using a paintbox.

The RGB- (red, green, blue) color-system: It describes the mixing of (color) light rays.

The color-system CMY (cyan, magenta, yellow) comes from the CMYK color-model. CMYK refers to the four inks used in most color printing: cyan, magenta, yellow, and key black. (e.g. colored print images in magazines and newspapers or from your desktop printer).
