About the Colordle color for May 22, 2024
Colordle #789 was published on Wednesday, May 22, 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 Ivory at hex code #FFFFF0, decoding to RGB 255, 255, 240. That puts it in the light neutral family, which designers typically reach for when they need paper backgrounds, off-white cards, and minimal product chrome. The tone reads as airy, clean, and unobtrusive.
On the brightness scale, Ivory scores roughly 993 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 warm-leaning, so it will play nicely against cool blues and grays as a contrast accent 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.
The day before this puzzle was (archived). 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.
