Color by number

Color by number is a pixel art coloring game by developer group Smash Games Lab where players complete pre-drawn images by filling numbered sections with the corresponding colors. Launched in November 2021 and updated most recently in April 2025, it has accumulated over 106.5 million visits with a consistent 300-700 concurrent players and a 90.6% approval rating - strong sustained performance for a relaxation-focused creative game on Roblox.

The experience is structured around calm, methodical coloring sessions:

• 🗺️ Choose a drawing - browse categories including Animals, Anime, Food, and Fantasy and pick a pre-drawn pixel art template to complete
• 🎭 Color by number - each section of the image is numbered and the corresponding color must be filled in correctly to complete the piece
• 💰 Earn gold - completing drawings rewards gold, which accumulates as a progression metric; VIP pass holders earn double gold per completion
• 💎 VIP category - the VIP Membership gamepass unlocks an exclusive drawing category unavailable to free players
• 🏠 Speed pass - a toggleable speed boost lets players navigate between sections faster for a more efficient completion run

Servers hold just 6 players, creating an intimate and unhurried coloring atmosphere. Badge data shows a steep completion curve: while 19.7 million players have visited, only about 7% complete 10 drawings and roughly 1.4% reach 50 completions, suggesting the game is popular for one-session relaxation rather than habitual long-term play.

Smash Games Lab followed Color by number with Color by number 2, a BETA sequel adding mythical brushes, unlockable skills, and cooperative play. The original remains the more visited and more stable of the two options for players seeking the definitive pixel-art coloring experience on Roblox.
