    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 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:

        @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.

        "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).

                  @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.

                        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!

                                  I am also quite dubious. I don't even understand their color picker—I'm not a graphics person—and I got 37.74/50. It would likely have been higher if I had not been interrupted during the third color.

                                    @kottke I got 30 out of 50. Part of the problem is (1) I don't think in terms of HSL, so adjusting to the controls was difficult, and (2) adjusting the controls didn't change the color of the image I thought I was trying to change to match the color I'd "memorized".

                                      @kottke I guess this is a good score?

                                      Side note: I’m an UI designer.

                                        All of mine were slightly darker.

                                        Hmm..Interesting that each of us has eyes that skew one way or the other consistently.

                                          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/

                                          46.5, but i still havent figured out how to move the sliders to get the shade(s) of brown i want. 3 of my colors were browns, and i gave up on fixing each of them rather than actually thinking they were correct.
