    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 41.73 - 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!

                                  @kottke 41.4, but not near perfect on any one color. I like the trash talking, though.

                                        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!

                                          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/
