How Scoring Works

Each round is worth up to 10 points. A full game has five rounds, so the maximum total score is 50.

Colour difference

The game compares the original colour with your guess using a perceptual colour-distance formula. Close colours score high; visibly different colours score lower.

Hue matters

Hue accuracy can recover some points when the colour family is right, especially for saturated colours. Big hue misses are penalised more.

Saturation and brightness

Saturation and brightness are included in the perceptual distance, so a washed-out or too-dark guess will lose points even if the hue is close.

Timing

Time is tracked and shown, but it does not reduce your score. The score is about colour accuracy, not speed.
