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/

30.12
failed pretty badly on 3 of 5 but did well enough to get an ok, sorta low score.

@kottke

My color memory is a 42.8/50. Please do worse so I feel better. https://dialed.gg/?c=PT9UTW

@mangotable @kottke

I got you covered.

@kottke 41.9/50! I think I did better at the blues than I did at the reds.

@kottke 43.5

I notice I'm not as good on blues as other hues.

@kottke literally the snottiest game I’ve ever played 😂

@inarticulatequilter I can only think of this scene from Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House (I love this scene)

@inarticulatequilter
Got 44.4 ! Thought I'd do worst, I think the game is a bit generous
A lot of my job is choosing colors, but my hobby are pretty colorful too 😎

@kottke 45,27.

@kottke that was fun!
Got a 43.59 as my score, playing on my pixel 9 pro with colors set to "natural".
Gonna try it again with the other color settings on it :3

with "adaptive" color, got a 37.07

42.22 on "saturated"

@Flamboyantes_Terres woohoo! I need to take you to the fabric store with me from now on

@inarticulatequilter @kottke

@kottke "You ranked 301.088 out of 448.873"

@fskornia 😂 sounds like every experience with a painter I’ve ever had

@kottke 43.83 pretty fun. 🙂

@kottke Interesting. My particular version of color blindness didn't affect me as much as I expected. I tend to perceive colors on this device as lighter (more white) than they are, though.

44.10

@kottke That was interesting. I got 40.12 https://dialed.gg/?c=FFZQUD

@kottke My color memory is a 44.1/50. Please do worse so I feel better. https://dialed.gg/?c=NX99Q7

@kottke 43.06 - the darker blue/greens are easier, I think. https://dialed.gg/?c=J3GRBQ

@kottke 42.50 not bad

@kottke 41.73 - first time I didn't even know what to expect... and I feel synesthesia doesn't help with it any way.

@kottke
47.12
(designer with a good eye for color and a P5 display)

@kottke 43.86

@kottke 47.41/50, which frankly shocked me.

@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!

@kottke https://dialed.gg/?c=XPFG7U 42.86

@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 @shom @kottke
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.

@CommonSparrow @kottke

All of mine were slightly darker.

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

I just “eyeballed” it. 😁
