Use colored row and column clues to reveal a picture with multi-color nonogram logic.

Color Picross, also called Color Nonogram, extends the picture-logic puzzle by adding multiple fill colors. Standard nonograms use black and blank cells. Color versions ask you to read clue colors as well as clue lengths, which changes spacing. Two clue blocks of different colors can touch directly, while two blocks of the same color need at least one blank cell between them. That one rule creates new deductions. Pick a small grid and reveal the hidden picture with color logic.
A row clue shows red 2, blue 3. Those two blocks may sit side by side with no blank between them.
A row clue shows green 2, green 1. At least one blank cell must separate those two green runs.
A red cell looks certain in a row, but its column only allows blue in that position. The row placement must shift.
Play Color Picross online for free. Use colored clues, fill certain cells, mark blanks, and reveal the image one row and column at a time.

Yes. Different-color clue blocks may touch directly unless the puzzle source states otherwise.
Yes. Same-color blocks need at least one blank cell to show where one run ends and the next begins.
It can be. Color adds more information, but it also adds more possible block arrangements.
Look for rows or columns where the clue groups nearly fill the full length. Count every colored run plus required spaces between same-color runs. If the total leaves only one or two spare cells, overlap the far-left and far-right placements. The shared cells are guaranteed fills, and their colors often unlock crossing clues quickly. Then mark any cells that no colored run can reach.
Color Picross keeps the picture-solving appeal of nonograms and adds smart color spacing. Read the clues carefully, cross-check colors, and let the image emerge.
