Full profile →About the SpongeBob Palette
Each playable Toon Tone round needs one stable scoring target so two guesses can be compared against the same reference. The current SpongeBob body target is #FEEF00, Patrick Star's shorts target is #A1E82F, and Squidward's skin target is #B4D8CA.
These project values describe the named Toon Tone targets, not every body part or every appearance of a character. Episodes, remasters, artwork, merchandise, compression, and displays can all shift visible color. For production or licensing specifications, use the rights holder's current official assets. The full SpongeBob project profile is available on the SpongeBob color page.
Using These Color Codes
Use these values first as game checkpoints: compare your guess with the current stored target, then inspect hue, saturation, and brightness separately. If you reuse a project reference in creative work, keep it labeled as a Toon Tone value rather than an official franchise palette.
In Procreate or Photoshop: paste #FEEF00 for the current SpongeBob body target, #A1E82F for Patrick Star's shorts target, or #B4D8CA for Squidward's skin target. Switch to HSB if you want to explore nearby variations without changing all three RGB channels manually.
In Figma or web CSS: use the same HEX values when you specifically want to reproduce the Toon Tone targets. If a color is used for text or controls, test the actual foreground/background pair for accessibility instead of assuming a character color has sufficient contrast.
For cosplay and fabric: use the Toon Tone HEX/HSB value as a visual starting point, then compare physical swatches under the lighting where the costume will be used. Do not assume a direct Pantone match from a screen HEX value; fabric, ink, print profiles, and displays reproduce color differently.
SpongeBob SquarePants has appeared across many episodes, films, releases, and merchandise formats since 1999, so visible colors are not guaranteed to be numerically identical everywhere. Toon Tone avoids claiming one universal production value: it publishes the stable scoring target used by its own round and labels additional values as project references.

FAQ
The current Toon Tone SpongeBob body scoring target is #FEEF00 in HEX — H:56°, S:100%, B:100% in HSB and RGB(254, 239, 0). It is the value used by this project's round, not a Nickelodeon-approved universal specification. See the SpongeBob project profile for the current target and related study values.
The current Toon Tone Patrick Star round targets his shorts at #A1E82F — H:83°, S:80%, B:91% in HSB and RGB(161, 232, 47). The page describes the named game target rather than claiming one universal color for Patrick's whole character design.
More Nickelodeon and Western animation characters are planned for the game. The current priority is expanding both the playable character pool and the color profile pages. Check the Characters section for the latest additions.
The current Toon Tone Squidward skin scoring target is #B4D8CA — H:157°, S:17%, B:85% in HSB and RGB(180, 216, 202). See the Squidward skin profile for the current game reference.
No. Toon Tone is an independent fan-made color-memory project. The values on this page are scoring or study references used by Toon Tone and should not be represented as Nickelodeon-approved official specifications.
Color Memory
Familiar characters are useful memory tests because recognizing a color family is easier than reconstructing an exact hue, saturation, and brightness without a visible swatch. Toon Tone hides the answer first, then shows the stored project target after the guess.
For the current Nickelodeon-related rounds, compare SpongeBob's #FEEF00, Patrick Star's shorts #A1E82F, and Squidward's skin #B4D8CA. They occupy very different HSB positions, so reviewing the three targets helps separate errors in hue from errors in saturation or brightness.
These references are most useful as Toon Tone checkpoints and personal color-study starting points. For print, fabric, licensing, or production work, use a color-managed workflow and the relevant rights holder's current official assets rather than assuming a screen HEX value maps directly to a physical standard.
