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).

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