Taide

Colour relay

One colour. Another world.

A colour in one artwork leads to the next. Follow a sequence of paintings, prints and drawings through the colours they share, right on your home or lock screen.

Make it yours

Choose the pace. Let colour lead.

  1. Start with an artwork

    Start a Colour relay from an artwork you like, or from Wallpaper in the app.

  2. Choose when it changes

    Pick the interval and whether to use your home screen, lock screen or both.

  3. See where it goes

    Each step finds an artwork through a shared colour. When a chain runs out, Taide starts afresh.
