How it plays in the puzzle
Palette 2048 used this painting for the daily puzzle of May 28, 2026. The tiles show no numbers: the smallest tile is black, and each merge steps along the palette. The six colors land exactly on the 2, 4, 8, 16, 128 and 2048 tiles, with blended shades in between, so the 2048 tile is sand.
