SEE
A cartoon color flashes on screen for 2-3 seconds. Memorize the exact shade — hue, brightness, and saturation.
MATCH
Use the color wheel to recreate what you saw. Pick the exact color from millions of possibilities.
SCORE
Your match is scored using CIELAB Delta E — the same color science used by professional designers and printers.
WHAT IT MEASURES
Hue Discrimination
Can you tell the difference between similar hues? Red vs orange, blue vs cyan — your ability to distinguish these.
Brightness Sensitivity
How well do you perceive light vs dark? A color that's too bright or too dark will increase your Delta E score.
Saturation Awareness
Vivid vs muted — can you remember how intense a color was? Saturation errors are common even among artists.
Color Memory
The core skill: holding a color in your mind accurately. Short-term color memory varies significantly between people.
