How do I know which colour a cell should be?

Compare it with the same position in the small picture in the corner. The two are the same pattern, so the positions line up one to one.

Yes — pick the right colour and tap the cell again. There is no penalty and no limit.

Why is there a cross on some cells?

Those cells do not match the picture yet. They are only marked, never penalised.

Yes. The picture in the corner is a complete, valid answer, so following it always finishes the board.

In Coloring you copy the small reference picture cell by cell. Every cell can be repainted until it matches. Free, no install, no sign-up.

In Coloring, a grid of blank cells, a small finished picture in the corner, and a palette. Paint each cell to match the picture.

The reference is the same picture
The small picture in the corner is not a similar-looking decoration — it is the very same pattern as the grid, drawn from the same data and simply scaled down. If you copy it cell by cell, you will match it exactly.
Pick a colour, then tap a cell
Choose from the palette at the bottom and tap cells. Tapping anywhere that is not the grid changes nothing at all.
One tap changes one cell
Painting never spreads and never fills an area. Each cell is on its own, so a slip costs you one cell and nothing more.
Mistakes are marked, not punished
A cell that does not match the picture gets a small cross drawn over it. Nothing is deducted and you can repaint it as many times as you like.
Tapping the same colour again does nothing
If a cell is already the colour you have selected, tapping it is simply ignored rather than counted as an error.
The round ends when every cell matches
You do not have to guess what finished means — it is exactly every cell matching the picture, and the count at the top of the screen tells you how many are already right.

Work one row at a time
The board is 12 by 10 cells, 120 in total, and each one only counts once it matches the reference picture. Finishing a whole row before starting the next keeps your place and makes the repeating patterns obvious. Random-order tapping means you constantly re-read the reference image, which is the slowest way to work.
Read the pattern, do not copy blind
The picture is generated as one of three shapes: nested frames, diagonal stripes or a diamond. Recognising which one you have makes the colours predictable, so you can fill a run of cells without checking the reference for each one. The stripes and the diamond both repeat on a regular step, and the frames step inward one ring at a time.
A wrong cell is never fatal
Painting the wrong colour does not end anything, it just marks that cell with a small cross so you can see it later. Repainting a cell with the right colour clears the mark and raises your correct count. So fix mistakes as you find them rather than leaving a trail of crosses to chase at the end.
