About this App
You open a colour-by-code book and face dozens of numbers, each needing its own marker. Digging through the box by hand takes ages, and a wrong shade shows on the finished page. Coloring Codes packs that job into Telegram. 🖍️
It is a mini app for matching colour codes while colouring. It is especially handy for people working with acrylic markers who need to line up a set's numbering with a book.
What the bot can do
The command list shows the essentials: a menu, code search, language switching, help and a way to suggest new works. Everything else revolves around finding the right code for the right page.
- Code search. The /search command helps find the value you need.
- Suggest a work. The /suggest command lets you report a book or page that is missing.
- Language. The /language command switches the interface.
- Menu and help. The /menu and /help commands lead back to the main sections.
How to use it
- Start the bot. The /start command opens the mini app.
- Find your work. Use search to pick the book and page.
- Match codes to markers. Put your set next to you and check the correspondence.
- Report what is missing. Use /suggest to ask for an addition.
Why it beats a spreadsheet
Paper and image charts get lost quickly, while a messenger is always at hand. You find the right page in a couple of taps instead of scrolling through long screenshots.
There is another plus. In mystery-picture colouring books the right colour decides everything. Choose a wrong shade and the final image will not come together, which you notice too late. 🎨
Tips for colouring by code
Before you start, check that your marker set and book edition match the ones the code list was built for. Numbering can differ between manufacturers.
- Test colours on a spare sheet. Markers give different shades on different paper.
- Begin with small details. A mistake in a large area is harder to fix.
- Check the lighting. Under warm light similar shades blur together.
- Tick off finished codes. That way you will not return to what is already filled in.
If your work is not listed
Any book's catalogue grows gradually. If your page was not found, use the suggestion feature in the bot rather than looking for solutions in random chats.
The bot has a channel and a community chat where new releases are discussed. Follow only what is listed in the bot's own profile. 🤝
Who it is for
Fans of colour-by-number and colour-by-code books, especially those using acrylic markers. It suits beginners who get lost among dozens of shades and experienced colourists who want to prepare faster.
If colouring books do not interest you, the bot has nothing to offer: it is narrow in scope, but useful within its topic.
Colouring in general is a good way to unwind after a working day. If preparing the codes takes minutes rather than an evening, there is more time and energy left for the process itself. ✨
