About the Colordle color for May 10, 2024
Colordle #777 was published on Friday, May 10, 2024. The daily puzzle resets at midnight in the player's local time, so the color you'd see on that calendar day depends on where you opened it.
The answer was Charcoal at hex code #343837, decoding to RGB 52, 56, 55. That puts it in the dark neutral family, which designers typically reach for when they need editorial dark mode, charcoal backdrops, and dense data UIs. The tone reads as serious, premium, and easy on the eyes in low light.
On the brightness scale, Charcoal scores roughly 214 out of 255, making it A bright shade that pops on dark canvases and works as a highlight, though it can feel harsh on large fills. It's also cool-leaning, so it will play nicely against warm oranges and yellows as a counterweight in most layouts. If you're trying to recreate this color in Figma, Photoshop, or a CSS variable, copy the hex directly; if you need screen-space matching, the RGB triplet above lands you on the same swatch.

Scanning a short run of recent answers is a useful way to see whether the curator has been leaning toward a particular palette that week, and it gives you a baseline for guessing future puzzles when a hex doesn't ring a bell. The full archive on this site indexes every Colordle back to launch, so you can flip through months at a time.
For working solvers, the Colordle helper on this site applies the same RGB distance math the official game uses, so you can plug a guess into it and get a near-match back without burning through your daily attempts.
