Free Color Nonogram Generator

A nonogram — also called Hanjie or Griddlers — whose clue numbers are printed in colors. Each number gives a block of squares of its color, in order, in its row or column; painting the squares by logic reveals a colored picture.

Like a black and white nonogram, with one difference: two blocks of the same color always have an empty square between them, but blocks of different colors may touch. A square can only take a color that both its row and its column list, so the colors narrow things down fast. Colored pencils or markers work best.
