    The Color Game. “Humans can’t reliably recall colors. This is a simple game to see how good (or bad) you are at it. We’ll show you five colors, then you’ll try and recreate them.” I scored 39/50 but got a perfect score on one color. https://dialed.gg/

    @kottke 41.9/50! I think I did better at the blues than I did at the reds.

        As long as you don't want me to name them, pretty awful at remembering that 😂

        I work in mysterious ways (by that I mean squinting really hard until I know I got the right color)

            @kottke 41.55. It’s hard to get the hue right for unsaturated colours.

                    Got a 46+

                    Seems like some of it is skill at using the controls. I was expecting it to be choosing from a line up.

                            @kottke 41.73 - first time I didn't even know what to expect... and I feel synesthesia doesn't help with it any way.

                              @kottke This is awesome, and yes tougher than I thought, tricky too , and I am suspicious that it maybe purposely show a different colour when matching 😉

                                    @kottke Pantone has built an industry in this.

                                    I'd say "monopoly", but I know it's not (despite their attempts). A different colour reference system (the Munsell system, looking like "10YR 3/4" etc) was chosen for rock descriptions in the 1930s, and isn't going anywhere this Myr.

                                          The Color Game. “Humans can’t reliably recall colors. This is a simple game to see how good (or bad) you are at it. We’ll show you five colors, then you’ll try and recreate them.” I scored 39/50 but got a perfect score on one color. https://dialed.gg/
