A Coloring Candy in Candy Crush is created by matching 6 or more candies of the same color in a specific arrangement. Here's the breakdown:
Formation
The key to forming a Coloring Candy lies in creating a line of 5 candies of the same color with an adjacent candy also of the same color touching the middle candy in that line. Think of it as a "+", "T", or "L" shape.
Specific Requirements:
- Minimum Number of Candies: You need at least six candies of the same color involved in the formation.
- Straight Line: A core line of five candies of the same color is essential.
- Adjacent Candy: Critically, at least one extra candy of the same color must be directly adjacent to the middle (3rd) candy of the five-candy line.
- Includes Special Candies: The matching candies can include special candies (striped, wrapped, or even other color bombs!) as long as they are all considered the same color for that particular level.
Example Scenario:
Imagine you have a row of five red candies. If you then move another red candy so it is directly above (or below) the middle red candy of that row, you will create a Coloring Candy.
