Frequently asked questions
▸How does color-by-number work here?
The generator samples a shape preset onto a grid; each cell that is inside the shape gets the number of its palette color, and the legend prints beside the grid. Kids fill cells to reveal the picture.
▸Can I change the palette?
Yes — pick a palette theme (classic, pastel, bold, greyscale) and grid size (8–32). The legend numbers stay stable for a given seed, so reprints of the same settings match.
▸Is there a blank grid mode?
Yes, the Empty sheet preset gives a numbered blank grid for free-drawing pixel designs, which is a favorite early-coding activity.
