Research

Tesla's Munsell Color Assessment

ChromaCubes is inspired by the Farnsworth Munsell 100 Hue Test, a renowned standard in color assessment for quality engineers. I completed this requirement while working at Tesla, earning a perfect score. Similar to the test, ChromaCubes presents players with a rich palette of hues, challenging them to discern subtle color variations.

With versatile gameplay and a variety of card challenges, ChromaCubes offers enjoyment for all ages.
