| As it turned out, this quiz was a lot trickier to put together than I expected. Humans can distinguish up to 10 million colors, but we perceive considerably more wavelengths to be blue or violet than we do red or orange. Moreover, there's no one universally-accepted formula for computing *perceptual* color distance. RGB and CMYK are fairly useless in this regard, but HSL (hue-saturation-lightness) works well because hue is the dominant factor to the human brain. For this quiz, I used weighted HSL, plus the color distance formula in the source link. I used Wikipedia's "traditional" HSL value for brown (which isn't really a color - it's a family of colors in the dark red-orange-yellow hue band.) Finally, I chose to require the solver to repeate the clue color name (or its abbreviation) in the answer. Otherwise, with only 8 possible answer values, scoring 100% via cut-and-paste would be trivial. Good luck! |
