Colour Game

The assertion is that people are terrible at remembering colours, but I would argue that people may remember the colour, but are terrible at recreating it. Po-tay-to po-tah-to.

So the game is that you are shown a tile for about 5 seconds. Memorize the colour. Then you go to a randomly-coloured tile with sliders, and you need to recreate the first colour from memory. Like I said, if you’ve never played with sliders, it can be difficult to know how to recreate a shade of brown. But play at least two times, knowing the first time will be a throwaway game while you figure out the sliders.

I scored 41.07 out of 50, which is better than 57% of people. I’m happy with that. I tended to go slightly lighter than the original.

How did you do?

Thanks for putting new game recommendations for us to try. Hopefully I will get better at it with time!

39.64, but I think I would do better once I got better with the sliders.

Thanks for sharing! I love color games. I took a textile certification class and enjoyed the color theory portion of the class. There are people who are certified to rate dyed fabric colors and testing sets to check how well you see colors and shades. I did pretty well my first try and did similar to you. 42.00 out of 50. Better than 67% of people.
