Huejoner
Eric Farris
Every day Huejoner picks one color and sends you out to find it. The hunt is simple. Open the app and you see tonight's target glowing in the ring: a single hue with a name like Neon Tangerine or Electric Azure. Your job is to find that color somewhere around you, in a jacket, a sign, a wall, a piece of fruit, and lock it in through the camera. Point the phone at what you found and the reticle reads the color under it in real time. You see the match climb as you get closer to the target. Tap SNARE when it looks right. A match of 70 percent or better counts as caught and keeps your streak alive. Land 95 percent and you get a Dead Eye. Missing the target is not wasted. Every bright, saturated color you snare lights up one of the 360 tubes on the spectrum wheel, so a bad guess still leaves something glowing behind. The wheel is the long game: 360 tubes, twelve color families, and most people take a very long time to fill it. Tap any tube to see when you lit it and how close the match was. After 8 PM a rare night hue starts to prowl. Six phantom colors rotate and each one fades again at 6 AM, so catching them means going out after dark. You switch between the daily target and the night hue right inside the hunt. There is also Free Scan. No target, no scoring, just point at anything and the app tells you what color it is, with its name and its exact code. Save the ones you like and keep a small pocket of colors you found yourself. Twenty trophies wait on Trophy Street, from your first snare to the full circle of 360 tubes. Three neon schemes let you repaint the whole app. If you want a nudge, you can turn on a daily ping when the fresh hue drops and a reminder in the evening when your tube is still dark. Huejoner works best when you actually go somewhere. The colors are out there already. You just have not been looking.
