As a regular user of color games, I have lived their various versions with their promise of creativity and serenity. Ebony Story Color By Numbers, however, took me to the very personal sphere of being. It is not a color game; rather a color dance that is a declaration of Black artistry, culture, and heritage. From the moment I installed the game, I was immersed within a vibrant patchwork of pictures that depicted Afrocentric culture, modern Black lifestyles, and moments of turning back the past.

What sets this title unique is that the title is dedicated to representation. The art work entails a multitude of individuals with differently styled hair, dressed differently, with differently colored skin that reflects the stunning diversity of Black existence. With every photo that I coloraged, I had a feeling of belonging and sense of pride that I was contributing to a greater story of confirmation of culture.

The game’s gameplay is also highly intuitive and pleasing to the eyes that I was readily immersed within the soothing art of coloration. The color choice is also highly well-developed with a rich color range that mirrors the intensity and diversity of Black artwork. From earth tones to mix to build a portrait to contrasting vibrant tones to mix to color a dynamic scene, I experienced a sense of art freedom of creativity.

Beyond its beauty, Ebony Story Color By Number is also educational by exposing the player to the legends and traditions that have shaped Black culture. With each image comes descriptive text that places the artwork into perspective and helps me to appreciate the art itself, as well as the culture the art represents. Ebony Story Color By Number is a positive and uplifting activity to do. It is a testament to the worth of being portrayed by the art and the media, and a testament to the beauty, strength, and ingenuity of the Black culture. If you are looking for a color by number activity that will fill the soul and is a diversity celebration, I highly recommend that you think about this activity.
