Game told me I was above average. Game told me how awesome I was the whole way through. I come to gloat about my score and find im the worst posted so far.
If it gave me multiple choice, I'd be more confident. But showing me the color and then asking me to select precisely which color using an RGB slider is insane.
This is pretty awesome and fun. I got 44.5. I'm on the subway and my memory of the colour depth changed drastically when I went above ground inbetween two of the colours.
1/5: Score 8.99, selection H210 S25 B73, original H214 S16 B58 (closest by hue, but I recalled it as more saturated and more bright than it really was)
2/5: Score 9.74, selection H155 S91 B78, original H146 S72 B78 (nailed the brightness, but I was biased towards cyan/blue and, again, recalled it as more saturated than it really was)
3/5: Score 9.19, selection H145 S59 B58, original H155 S80 B48 (closest by hue, but I was biased towards cyan/blue, this time ending up with a less saturated mental recalling of it, still brighter once again)
4/5: Score 8.37, selection H271 S18 B79, original H251 S19 B99 (almost nailed saturation, but I was biased towards blue; this time I had a darker mental recall of it, maybe I was unconsciously overcompensating my drift towards brighter)
5/5: Score 9.74, selection H28 S87 B50, original H24 S89 B49 (the closest I got to nailing it, off by mere 1 level of brightness, 2 levels of saturation, 4 degrees of hue, which is a recurrent bias towards green).
Final score: 46.03/50 (ranked 47880 out of 381487, their humorous score description: "suspiciously accurate, we're going to need to see your browser history.")
I took notes after each round, so I could analyze my own color accuracy, as someone who's highly familiar with color wheels (I'm a developer and also a hobbyist artist who uses a drawing app for doing digital art). I'm not sure whether my bias towards cooler colors has to do with the screen white balance/temperature (I played on smartphone, and the screen is slightly a cold white, even though Android's White balance is set to the midpoint between cold and warm; will eventually replay it on PC) or if it has to do with my heightened sensorial bias to red (which, as paradoxical as it may sound, ends up pushing me to guess a color as less red than it is because I unconsciously expect the apparent color as redder, i.e. "this color is probably appearing redder than it really is because I've become overly sensitive to red, so it must be bluer/greener" chain of thought).
Your ability to see accurate colours is always affected by your space and light. If you have a window and lamp around you could slightly move your phone and the colour temperature of either will change the colour you are trying to recreate. It's kind of a bitch have to deal with if you are colour balancing and grading for work, and you need to use colour scopes and graphs to make sure they are truly accurate.
Kind of hard, but partly confounded by not knowing the best way to use the sliders. Once you start messing around and seeing other colors, I start forgetting the original.
From the copy I thought it would be harder, and more people would be scoring badly, but the comments here seem to show most people near my score. But maybe only people who did well are commenting.

Their expectations are too low, heaps of high scores
46.0/50. I remember colors better than I remember names. Come at me. https://dialed.gg/?c=EFGTXX

Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 179d
This was fun! But I'm curious if the background was supposed to change to the color you were choosing?

Bullshit. No way I just got first place. It wasn't even that hard.
HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 179d
It is indeed bullshit. The 1/270k score was a lie.

45.02 mostly because I did really bad on the first try. You have to pick the color as fast as possible or you start forgetting it.
Quilotoa@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 179d
Yeah, I found the same thing. The longer I took at fine tuning, the worse I scored.

Yes, I know it's meant to be just a game. lol

46.3 I think it's easier to remember a color that you can either name(or close name) or can associate with some object or logo
lycalopex@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 179d
I wonder if the scores would change with different pickers for different color spaces like oklch.

I don't get hard mode. Am I looking when it says Go, or at the color with the timer?
paranoidcyborg@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 179d
It's the colour with the timer, but the first two times i tried it there was a glitch and it was a colour behind.

PumaStoleMyBluff@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 179d
45.80! Thought it was fun.
I tend to try to label the color; "cranberry", "modern bathroom dark green", "bubblegum pink but desaturated".
Definitely agree about more time spent fine tuning leading to worse matches.

My color memory is a 43.5/50. Please do worse so I feel better. https://dialed.gg/?c=DSPHS5
Said I was 110k/270k
I'm not extraordinary but it said this was hard. Worst one I got was a 7.
