Happy Color is a numbered coloring experience built around hand-drawn artwork. The maker says its library contains over 50,000 pictures from artists around the world, with categories including Disney, mandalas, mystery pictures, postcards, pixel art, flowers, nature, places, animals, and art. A search tool helps locate pictures by topics such as hobbies and interests. The digital coloring content is free of charge. Happy Color is listed for Android, iOS, and the web, while the FAQ specifies smartphone and tablet support and excludes laptops and desktop computers. Pictures in My Feed can be colored without internet, but full offline mode and every feature are unavailable. Progress can sync across devices after signing in with Facebook, Google, or Apple ID; only completed pictures transfer. Remove Ads costs $7.99, paid once. Premium options are $9.99 a month or $49.99 a year in the US App Store.

Paint by Number is a coloring game in which pictures are divided into numbered cells, each matched to a color. Players fill the cells to turn an image into a painting; the maker describes the gameplay as simulating real painting. It is available on Android, iOS, and Windows, with offline access and numbered coloring as its listed mode. The maker says its artists create textured and gradient paintings, describes the game as suitable for all ages, and highlights coloring and stories in picture books.

The game has a free plan at free and a listed 3-day trial. Its terms describe premium access through a one-time lifetime purchase or monthly or yearly app-store subscriptions, but prices are unspecified. The maker may offer a premium trial that requires a payment method and subscription frequency; after the trial, the selected subscription is charged. Users may create profiles to track progress and sync activity across devices, and may register with Facebook or Google credentials.
