Submit and compare
The real color is revealed next to yours and scored out of 10. Five rounds make a run.
About this mode
Thirty NBA franchises and the palettes that made them recognisable across decades.
NBA palettes are unusually specific. Purple and gold, teal, and the difference between a warm red and a deep wine are all part of a franchise identity that fans see constantly but rarely examine closely.
Examples from this mode
- Golden State Warriors
- Sacramento Kings
- Memphis Grizzlies
- Brooklyn Nets
How scoring works
Each guess is scored out of 10 based on how far your color sits from the real one. Five rounds are averaged into a final score, so one weak round does not decide the run. The reveal after every guess is the part that makes you better — it shows whether you missed on hue, on saturation or on brightness.
Leaderboard

Frequently asked questions
Which teams appear in the quiz?
Thirty NBA franchises, including the Golden State Warriors, Memphis Grizzlies, Sacramento Kings and Brooklyn Nets.
Which basketball colors are hardest to match?
Teal and wine shades cause the most misses, because both sit between two color families and are easy to place slightly too bright or too dark.
Is the quiz affiliated with the NBA?
No. ToonTone is an independent game. Team names and colors are referenced for identification only and remain the property of their respective owners.
Is it free to play?
Yes. Every mode on this site is free, with no account, no sign-up and no ads. The iOS app adds more challenges, multiplayer and daily runs.
Can I play on my phone?
