Too little difference in the colors to no added effect on the picture. Just makes it annoying

On my screen the colors were clearly distinct. So much difference in monitors.
replyWhy are straight angle lines so hard to figure out? Is there a trick to solving them?

Suppose the vertical clues look like "2 1" and the horizontal clues look like
2
1
Then the solution would be
2 1
2 x x
1 x .
Examine these other patterns:
2 2
1 . x
2 x x
1 x .
and
2 2 1
2 . x x
2 x x .
1 x . .
This line has a steeper angle:
2 3 1
2 . x x
1 . x .
2 x x .
1 x . .
If you suspect there is a straight or (angled) line, or even a curved line, you can examine to see if there is a similar pattern. The trickiest part is figuring out if it is up-and-to-the-right or up-and-to-the-left. You start with the endpoints.
Multi-colored lines are somewhat similar.
A A
A B B B
-------
A B | . . A B
A B | . A B .
A B | A B . .
Notice how the pattern differs between an up-and-to-the-right line and an up-and-to-the-left line
B B
A A A B
-------
A B | A B . .
A B | . A B .
A B | . . A B

I also had trouble with similar hues. If you login and enable "beta testing" in the settings page, then you can set the colors to your custom palette. This makes solving easier.

sorry about the colors guys they looked pretty distinct on my end :C
replyI usually complain about hard-to-distinguish colors but with this one I had no trouble at all.
