The rules

- Your final score is the average of all five rounds.
How your score is worked out
We compare your color and the real one with CIEDE2000, a formula that measures how different two colors look to the human eye. A smaller difference gives a higher score. A hint takes 1 point off that round.
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 9 to 10 | Almost the same color |
| 7 to 8.99 | Close, with a small shade difference |
| 4 to 6.99 | Right color family, wrong shade |
| 0 to 3.99 | A different color |

Tips for a higher score
- Set hue first. A wrong color family costs the most points.
- Then set saturation. Cartoon and logo colors are usually very strong.
- Set brightness last. People often guess it too dark or too light.
- Look at the whole picture. Nearby colors change how a shade looks.
- Use a hint only when you have no idea. It costs a full point.
