Name the Hue — A Daily Colour-Guessing Game
A free daily game asks players to match a named colour to the correct swatch, using perceptual colour-difference scoring rather than simple RGB distance.
Field notes
The game compares each selected swatch with the target in CIELAB colour space using CIEDE2000, so its percentage score is intended to reflect perceived visual difference rather than raw RGB distance. Its daily targets draw from the XKCD colour survey, described here as a CC0 dataset of nearly 1,000 community-named colours. The interface also supports ruling out swatches, unlimited guesses, a daily par, practice puzzles, and head-to-head play through a shared link or six-digit room code.
