Design of I ❤ Hue
I ❤ Hue is a mobile game based around sorting color swatches into smooth gradients. The app uses light line-weights for its fonts and icons, along with relatively desaturated colors, contributing to a calm atmosphere. Most of the real-estate on the screen, whether when viewing a menu or when playing, is taken up by color-palettes, reinforcing the game’s central theme and mechanic. The use of neutral tones and generous spacing in the background also lends itself to a relaxed, clean-feeling interface.
