ColorCollectColor of the day widget for your site

Live preview
Copy the snippet
- Copy the snippet. Press the copy button below. It is one iframe plus one line of credit underneath — nothing else, no script tags.
- Paste it into your page. Use an HTML or "embed" block: WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Google Sites, Blogger and most school learning platforms all have one.
- That is it — it updates itself. The color changes at midnight UTC every day, the same moment it changes for every ColorCollect player. You never touch it again.
Ways people use it
A morning prompt for a classroom
Put it on the class page or the board. The day's color becomes the warm-up: name three things in the room that are that color, or hunt for it at recess and report back. The color scavenger hunt guide has ideas for every age.
A daily ritual on a family or homeschool blog
One color, one photo, every day. It is a small creative habit that takes thirty seconds and builds up into a surprisingly lovely record of the year.
A creative prompt for artists and photographers
Use it as the day's constraint: shoot, paint or style something in that color. Constraints are where good ideas come from.
Want to play it properly? ColorCollect turns the daily color into a photo hunt that ends in a shareable montage.
Frequently asked questions
Is the color of the day widget free?
Yes, free for any site — classroom pages, blogs, newsletters with HTML embeds, intranets. There is no signup and no API key.
Does the widget track my visitors?
No. It loads no analytics, sets no cookies and pulls nothing from any third party. It is one small HTML page that works out today's color in the visitor's browser.
How does it pick the color?
It shows the same color of the day as the ColorCollect app, worked out from the date, so every site with the widget and every player in the app see the same color on the same day.
Can I change the size?
Yes. Change the width and height in the snippet; the widget stretches to fill whatever box you give it. Around 320 by 132 pixels is the size it was designed at.
