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 40.5 here. That was fun! Thanks!

@kottke 43.62/50. It would probably be higher if I could have written the hex code for the color.

@kottke 46.14, described as "suspiciously accurate". I did best on attempt no.1, just using my phone for it. No hi-tech fancy pants monitor here!

There's a nice meditative mobile game called “I Love Hue” which trains colour gradient perception:
I Love Hue - Out now on the App Store and Google Play
A gentle journey into colour and perception.

@kottke I was hoping to score poorly so I could talk myself out of color accurate displays, film processing tweaking, etc and save myself so much time and money

47.5/50. I remember colors better than I remember names. Come at me.
https://dialed.gg/?c=DTGU4U"better than I remember names" makes me feel seen and also called out!

@shom @kottke Everyone I see posting about this got over 40 or very close to it. Myself included. I’m dubious of the website’s claims. If anything, the issue seems to be less remembering colours and more that their picker is subpar and unintuitive (and I say this as someone who studied graphic design).

@kottke Do you know what metric they use for distance between the colours?

@kottke
I got 39.6
All of my choices were lighter than the actual darker colour.
I am impressed with how the majority of people here got scores in the mid 40s!All of mine were slightly darker.

@kottke 40.63 Better than I thought I'd do?
My worst matches were the greens for some reason. -
