Challenging gradient color jigsaw puzzle

This abstract puzzle features subtle color transitions, providing a unique and highly challenging experience for dedicated puzzlers.

A gradient colour jigsaw puzzle swaps a picture for smooth shifts of hue, so every piece has to be placed by shade alone. It suits experienced puzzlers who have finished plenty of scenic puzzles and want a slower, more demanding project with a clean, modern look.
