Draw Something – Which Color Packs Overlap?

draw-something

Looking over the color shop, I can see some color are available in different packs, for example both the fall package and the holiday package contains the same shade of yellow, which is included in the shades of yellow pack as well. If I want to minimize the coins spent and still buy all available colors, which packs should do I choose? which packs are available in separate packs? Can I still buy a color pack even if I have all it's colors from different packs or does it automatically count as "unlocked"?

Best Answer

I have purchased 2 packs with the coins I have earned, so I can understand what you mean as I have 2 yellow colors overlapping. There are many colors within the packages shown below that you can barely notice any tint difference in play.

It is completely up to you in the end which packages you would like and which tints or variations you would like to enjoy the game to its fullest, but my recommendation would be: Holiday package and the Mardi Gras package. Both packages + the original set give you the main set of colors required to illustrate a proper, defined picture.

My reasoning:

Between the Mardi Gras package + the holiday package + original set you gain:

  • Red[removes red scale package, half of fall package, part of neon package]
  • Purple [removes spring and neon package]
  • (2 different tints of) blue[removes bluescale package, part of spring package, beach package]
  • Green [ neon package ]
  • Yellow [removes fall package (see brown below), part of spring package]
  • brown [removes fall package, ice cream package]
  • Different shades of black - gray[removes grayscale package].

The reasoning above accesses every package (besides minor differences in the shade packages).

Sidenote: I wouldn't bother with the shade packages at all.
