Wow, pretty cool to see the color-names project here. I made a simple color guessing website a few years ago [0] using your library. I almost forgot it till someone reminds how they enjoyed it ([1]).

Fun! If I may make one suggestion, could you please show the color I picked next to the real one once it is revealed?

edit: I get the same 5 colors every time?

> I get the same 5 colors every time? That's probably a bug.

Guess the Color

Lilac Rose

Your score

81/100

First try!

My final score was 286/500 :(

At any rate, it keeps using the same colors, so this needs to be improved.

And the scoring is quite generous. For the coupe color I picked vibrant red, correct was some steel gray and I got 60/100 points
I agree.

I remember there were a couple of websites like this, however, with random colors, better scoring, etc.

For example I found these:

https://color.method.ac

https://hexcodle.com (this one has a 10 hour limit per game, ugh)

But there were many others. Ideas? I am looking for something like colorguesser.com.

Actually I experienced with different distance metrics and settled for one.
