RIMO - Matsuro Palette
Introduction
Matsuro Palette (aka Death Palette) is an indie game first released on mobile platforms in 2020, and would later be released on console/Steam in 2024. This entry goes over how to complete each stages and how to unlock all death scenarios.
Note: This entry is based on the mobile version of the game, so I'm not entirely sure whether this also works on console/Steam version.

Day 4
Symbols of Transience
Solution
Paint the objects based on the hints given by the girl.
So for example, if the girl asks you for something "you open and look through" you paint a book on the bed.
To make the rest of the challenge easier to complete, paint all of the objects with the SAME COLOR.
Dance of Death
Solution
In each paintings, you will have to fill in the absent object and must match the color as the one from the previous phase. If you decided to paint all the objects with the same color previously, then this part should be a piece of cake.
Deaths
Time's Up: Fill in the absent object after the hourglass sand runs out. Do this several times until this death pops up.
Instrument, Skin-bound, Thief, De-skulled, Stars: Paint the incorrect object. One of the five deaths is randomly chosen each time, so it might take a few tries to get all of them.

Girl Picking Blue Flowers
Solution
You get three tries to paint the flower in the correct color (blue). For the first two, the wheel will spin very fast making it hard to select the correct color. But for the third attempt, the wheel will slow down at normal speed.
Deaths
Flowered: Fail to paint the flower in the correct color in all three attempts.
Day 6
Girl with the Blue Flower?
Solution
To paint an earring on the girl's RIGHT ear, you will have to first paint a clear (white) mirror behind her.
There is no correct answer on which earring or color to choose. What's important is that you memorize the color you chose for the earring as you will need this info in a later stage.
After the girl let's you leave, you'll then see a familiar door on the canvas. Do NOT climb the stairs yet. Find the identical door in the studio and then open it.
Deaths
Inverted: Paint an earring on the girl's LEFT ear.
Rusted: Paint a rusted (brown) mirror behind the girl.
Blood Sea: Once the girl let's you leave, immediately start climbing the stairs.
Day 7

Paint the earring with the same color as you chose in the previous day.
