About the Colordle color for May 8, 2024
Colordle #775 was published on Wednesday, May 8, 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 Deep Red at hex code #9A0200, decoding to RGB 154, 2, 0. That puts it in the red family, which designers typically reach for when they need warm primaries in branding, alerts, and accent UI. The tone reads as high-energy, attention-grabbing, appetite-linked.
On the brightness scale, Deep Red scores roughly 185 out of 255, making it A middle-brightness value that pairs comfortably with both light and dark surfaces. 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.
