A bold, playful colour-mixing reference for Early Years classrooms — tap any colour to reveal what it's made from. Colour Recipes is a simple, joyful colour-mixing reference for Early Years classrooms. Tap any colour to reveal its "recipe" — the colours it's made from — with a big, bold, playful animation. Primary colours get their own celebration; every secondary, tertiary, tint and shade shows exactly which colours combine to make it, including how black and white create pink, navy, brown and grey. Built for ages 3-5: • Large, easy-to-tap colour swatches — no small targets • No text required — colour names are optional • No failure states — every tap is rewarding • Bold, saturated colours with square, circle, or splotch-shaped swatches • Optional second-language labels (Thai and Chinese included) • Works completely offline, with no accounts, ads, or in-app purchases A long-press-protected teacher settings screen lets you control which colours are shown, whether names are displayed, and swatch shapes — without little fingers getting into settings by accident. Colour Recipes doesn't collect any data, make any network calls, or show any ads. It's a quiet, focused tool built for one job: helping young children discover how colours are made.
