    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 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!

      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 😅

        @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!

                  @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.

                                    @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).

                                      @vitor @kottke it's definitely not very granular. Combine that with the confirmation bias of who will actually play this and then post about it. It totally makes sense.

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

                                          @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).

                                          I also had issues with the picker. 38 for me.
