    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/

        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.

                @madargon my version certainly doesn't have powdery salmon or mildewy not-really-blue hues

                  @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.

                                @kottke 41.72, but probably could have scored higher on the first colour while I was still working out the sliders.

                                  @kottke 47.05/50 I just like colours... I think that knowing different names besides the basic ones helps because I could articulate in my head what colour I was looking at.

                                        @kottke so, I used to look after TV cameras for a living. Whilst I know about the lack of objective colorimetry we have, we can learn some stuff. The way you do this with cameras is to have a preview switch in the remote control panel that allows you to directly bounce between them, and adjust colours on the fly. I retired in 2020, so I guess I'm out of practice!

                                          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/

                                          Not easy with a smartphone blinking and faulty screen...
                                          36 when my phone non stop blinked... 46 when I got a chance to see no blinks 😅
