Colony Flow Level 286 is a pixel-art board. Measured from the board image on this page, the picture breaks down into 3 colours, each covering at least 2% of the board: dark grey covering the most at 67.6%, then cream (12.3%) and dark red (3.9%). The cream that frames the picture reads as the board's empty background - it frames the artwork rather than forming part of it.

Read from the board image on this page, last measured 2026-10-25. Colour names are read off the hex shown beside them and may differ from the name the game gives that colour. The game decides which colour is playable at any moment, so treat this as what the board costs to clear, not as a play order.
How to read the Level 286 board
Start with the biggest colour: dark grey
dark grey covers 67.6% of the board - more than any other colour here. A colour only clears once every part of it has been taken off the board, so the biggest colour is the slowest to finish and the one worth starting on as soon as the game offers it.
dark red is spread across the picture
dark red sits in 28 separate runs in the board image, so it cannot be finished in one place. Take the runs you can reach and come back to the rest as the colours around them clear.
Ignore the empty background
The cream area is 16.2% of the board and sits outside the picture. Nothing was measured against it, so it does not count towards the clear.
