People would probably vote more if they had to vote at least 5 times to see the ranks, i.e. say "3 more votes to see ranks" in top center, and then pop up the ranks automatically.

I don't think anyone would be mad.

Here I am clicking color after color like a dunce, wondering when I get to see the ranking. After 20-30 or so clicks I finally notice the ultra-tiny-low-contrast "Ranks" text.

In my defense I'm outside with a ton of glare...

So people with the worst vision have the biggest say in what is the best color.
I didn’t even know I was voting on anything during my first three clicks. “Choose a color” doesn’t equate to “vote on a color” in my mind. I thought I was “choosing a color” to see its rank (and I didn’t get why it was showing me two on the page). I must be the lowest common denominator in this case.
I voted 15 times and no results
Look for "RANKS" on the bottom of the page...
And then click it (even though it's the one area of the page that doesn't have a cursor:pointer (took me some time too, even after coming back here to check comments)).
