Meccha Paint System
The paint system is the core gimmick — your survival depends on copying the stage better than other Hiders.
You begin each round as a blank white model. During prep, use the palette and eyedropper to transfer environmental colors onto your body, then refine with brush patterns.
Eyedropper (Spoid)
The eyedropper samples color directly from the world — similar to Photoshop's picker. Click walls, floors, props, and shadows to build a local palette before brushing.
- Sample lit AND shadow tones from the same material
- Re-sample if you change hide spots mid-prep
- Store mentally: base, shadow, accent line colors
Brushes & textures
- Use line brushes to extend tile grout, wallpaper stripes, or frame borders
- Match brush scale to the environment — oversized strokes look fake up close
- Layer base fill first, then texture lines on top
Gradients & transitions
Maps rarely use flat color. Blend from light to shadow across your torso and legs so you do not pop under directional lighting.
Pattern mimicry examples
- Checkered floors — alternate two eyedropped squares across limbs
- Kitchen tiles — horizontal accent lines at knee height
- Gallery frames — dark border strip + inner canvas tone
- Party decorations — match one balloon hue, not the entire rainbow
