How it plays in the puzzle
Palette 2048 used this painting for the daily puzzle of April 21, 2026. The tiles show no numbers: the smallest tile is dark umber, and each merge steps along the palette. The six colors land exactly on the 2, 4, 32, 256, 1024 and 2048 tiles, with blended shades in between, so the 2048 tile is sand.
