About MecchaPalette

MecchaPalette is a free, fan-made color-matching tool for players of the multiplayer hide-and-seek game Meccha Chameleon. It exists to solve one specific, nagging problem: matching a surface color precisely and quickly, before the prep clock runs out.

What the tool does

In Meccha Chameleon, you paint your chameleon to blend into the wall, floor, or prop behind you. The in-game eyedropper is imprecise, so dialing in an exact shade by eye is slow and error-prone — and being even a little off is what gets you spotted. MecchaPalette lets you:

• Pick a base color with a 2D dropper, type an exact Hex/RGB/HSV value, or sample a pixel straight from a screenshot (entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded).
• Generate harmony palettes and jump to presets for known maps and surfaces.
• Expand any palette into a dense grid of every shade that's even remotely close, ranked by perceptual color difference (CIELAB ΔE) rather than raw RGB distance — so the matches are ordered by how close they actually look.
• Copy any shade in Hex, RGB, or HSV with a tap, and compare a candidate against your target with the exact ΔE gap shown.

Why it's built the way it is

The whole app runs client-side as a static page — no accounts, no server, no database. Screenshots you sample are read locally with the browser's canvas API and never leave your device. Color conversions and the CIEDE2000 ΔE math are hand-rolled to keep the tool fast and fully usable offline. We think a utility this focused should load instantly and respect your privacy by default.

Guides, not just a widget

Matching colors is only half the game. Good camouflage is also about posing, lighting, edges, and reading a surface. That's why we publish written guides alongside the tool — a beginner's walkthrough of how the game works, a breakdown of the mistakes that get you spotted, and a plain-English explainer of the Hex/RGB/HSV formats you'll be working with. The aim is to be a genuine resource for players, not just a button.
