Why this color matters

YouTube works as a Brand Tone round because its play button red is a strong memory cue, not just decoration. The game hides that signature hue and asks you to reconstruct it from memory.

The target answer is #FF0000. In HSB terms it sits at HSB(0°, 100%, 100%), which is the value used for scoring in the round.

Use the detail image as a study reference, then jump into the round and match the color without seeing the filled-in target first.

How to remember this brand color

A short memory plan before you play the round.

  • Anchor your memory on the visible logo shape, then recall where play button red appears in that mark.
  • Start with hue first; brand colors usually punish a hue miss more than a small brightness miss.
  • Keep saturation confident unless the logo color is visibly muted or corporate-blue.
