The browns were the easiest for me somehow, I consistently get over 9.5s on them. Saturated colors on the other hand I don't do as well, so what can you do.

I seem to struggle with greys as well. I seem to remember if the tone it has, but then my brain really doesn't remember how dark or light it was.

But the one thing I haven’t really practiced extensively is color mixing, so I shouldn’t be surprised.

Frontend developer! Mwahaha!
I wonder how much everyone's screen is affecting the results. Who's using OLED (such as on a smartphone?) I used an IPS panel; I wonder if that reduces the perceptual color space, making it easier somehow.
Also, another thing I noticed was that the colors that seemed the most different in the final results display (ie that I perceived as doing worst in) did not seem to match the ones with the lowest score, even though the differences in score were relatively minor. I wonder how the score is calculated. Is it just linear distance?

I'm a painter and a fullstack developer and I've only managed to get 42/50 after 2 attempts :D
First attempt was at my external monitor and second one on my Macbook screen, and there I got a higher score, probably because of the higher brightness I'm able to get there.
Also wondering about the score, ,maybe you get punished more if your value is off instead of your hue.
Hm, I guess I've always had all sorts of hobbies that require fiddling with colors for a non-negligible amount of time. Such as game development, 3D modeling (textures and sprites basically) and,...
Hm, I guess I've always had all sorts of hobbies that require fiddling with colors for a non-negligible amount of time. Such as game development, 3D modeling (textures and sprites basically) and, surprisingly, my karaoke video channel, since I fell into the habit of creating a distinct aesthetic for each video. I'm a multimedia systems major.
Another thing that comes to mind is that due to my aphantasia I'm pretty bad at recognizing the shapes of things, so in situations where visual recognition is required, I've had the most success by recognizing color moods. A measurable example is guessthe.game , which I've been playing regularly with friends for a couple years now.
And of course I'm writing all this but this could also just be an outlier/luck. I'm afraid to play a bunch more times to increase the sample size now and find out I actually suck :D

And maybe an option up move the sliders to the right side of the screen for the right handed folks just using one hand.
Edit: also just fyi for others: there is audio on this page.
Another edit: an option for wider sliders would be good. But maybe just moving it to the right would solve that problem too.
One more edit: An option to label the multiplayer game with a group name would be nice.

I did not enjoy this, for 2 reasons:
The tone is unnecessary sarcastic, defeatist, or something. Although I normally enjoy that kind of tone it didn't do it for me here. It might have to do with the second point or with me not being friends with the game (not even in a parasocial way!).
Although I understand that the colour I "made" is not correct I don't really know enough about this kind of colour-system (or really any of them) to make it that much better, so I don't feel I really have any agency of the outcome. (Obviously if I sat with it for longer I might figure it out, but I didn't want to!)
I didn't care much for the game's snarky tone either. I assume that it wasn't meant to be malicious, but it reminded me of the times that I've been mocked for my colourblindess.

To answer how well I remember colors, I'll say: terribly. But I apparently did okay in this game (37.7/50): https://dialed.gg/?c=8T24DN. I did shockingly well on the last one, and got a 9.23 on...
To answer how well I remember colors, I'll say: terribly. But I apparently did okay in this game (37.7/50): https://dialed.gg/?c=8T24DN. I did shockingly well on the last one, and got a 9.23 on the second. And I'm slightly colorblind, too.
I found it pretty awkward having to pick a color then having to adjust its darkness and...saturation (maybe?). I think I would've done better if there were simply a palette with all of the colors.
Regardless, like I said, I remember colors terribly. Ask me what color something was that I saw five minutes ago, and I might say red when it was blue.
45.10 on my first try. I’m red/green color vision deficient and I’m working on an iPhone with a really high quality monitor, but not color corrected for my vision. I’m very surprised that I did so...

My best one yet! With only 5 guesses it feels like there's a bit of luck to get a color you perceive well. Though a bit of practice figuring out the game probably helps too.

Got 40 first time, 42.15 second time. At some point I ended up screenshotting the colour shown as evidence, because I was so convinced they were showing different original colours. But, nope....

This was after moving to my main desktop and monitor and setting the website to dark mode so that the swatch would have a neutral surround. On my first try on my phone last night, I think I got a 45ish and 94%.
Nerding out because digital color science is something of a sub-hobby of mine:
I do wonder how they're computing the color difference. Since they report the original and guessed colors as HSB, I really hope that it's not just Euclidean difference in HSB. At a minimum I'd expect them to use Euclidean distance in the L*a*b* colorspace (i.e., CIE 76). My current go-to color difference metric is CIE DE 2000, but that one is way, way more tricky to implement and complicated to calculate. That one can give inconsistent values if the reference and test colors are wildly far apart, but it's fairly well tuned for when they're pretty close. The nice thing about both CIE 76 and CIE DE 2000 is that they at least try to approximate the perceptual difference. CIE DE 2000 in particular aims to model or predict the MacAdam ellipses, where a color pair with a CIE DE 2000 score of 1.0 corresponds to the Just Noticeable Difference (JND) threshold, where the pair is just on the edge of what a typical person can tell apart.
Does this work on Firefox for anybody? When I have to recreate the color, I can move the slider dots on the left side, but the brightness-options and the color itself is not updated.

I also had it break on Firefox, mobile and desktop. I was able to move the left slider once and it would change but any other slider movements did not update the shown color.

I managed to do a lot better than I expected myself to do honestly haha. I'm a backend developer and played this on my Macbook's display. I did really well on the first, third and last one (bluish, greenish, and red/brown-ish colors) but struggled on the other two (lighter green/olive/gray-ish colors). So, not sure what that says about my ability other to see colors haha.

This is fun! Grays and browns are really tough for me, not sure if others feel the same.
The browns were the easiest for me somehow, I consistently get over 9.5s on them. Saturated colors on the other hand I don't do as well, so what can you do.
Yeah by the time I've scrolled through I lose the undertones. I royally screwed up the last one. I've had better but it was respectable

As a jack of all trades full stack web dev I only got 41.28. But they don’t pay me to be the best at anything!

I didn't think the OP was the game creator?
Correct not the developer! Just sharing

Thanks, "snarky" is an excellent choice for adjective here.

I did surprisingly well with 42.4/50. I feel I have trouble remembering the lightness.
45.10 on my first try. I’m red/green color vision deficient and I’m working on an iPhone with a really high quality monitor, but not color corrected for my vision. I’m very surprised that I did so well.
How do you do on a 2nd try?
https://dialed.gg/?c=KGSSJ4
My best one yet! With only 5 guesses it feels like there's a bit of luck to get a color you perceive well. Though a bit of practice figuring out the game probably helps too.
I got a 39.75/50.
Highest was 9.39, lowest was 6.16.
Pretty neat!
Got 40 first time, 42.15 second time.
At some point I ended up screenshotting the colour shown as evidence, because I was so convinced they were showing different original colours.
But, nope. Memory of colour really is just that bad it seems - how interesting!
I got 46.75 on my first attempt. I refuse to play again out of fear that it was a fluke.
This was an excellent game, it brought me and my friend group a few hours of joy during our allocated game time.
Thanks OP

Each game I played was worse than the game before! It was fun anyway. Thanks for posting.
44.31/50 on my first try. https://dialed.gg/?c=HL5R48. Of the three values, brightness was the most difficult for me.
Neat little game.
Does this work on Firefox for anybody? When I have to recreate the color, I can move the slider dots on the left side, but the brightness-options and the color itself is not updated.
Worked on mobile Firefox for me
Thanks for replying!
Yeah, works for me now, too. Turns out, it helps to disable my Darkreader add-on 😅🫠...
I also had it break on Firefox, mobile and desktop. I was able to move the left slider once and it would change but any other slider movements did not update the shown color.
Sounds like it might be an extension! @shu said it was Darkreader
Shooting myself in the foot with extensions, a tale as old as time.
Wow, even when it gave me a complimentary remark at the end, I still felt like I was SO OFF every time. Played it twice and got around 38 and 41.
