Shade · What color?
Colour guessing game: can you remember a colour exactly?
Shade is the third round. Think of a real colour with an official specification, such as a flag or a named web colour, and recreate it from memory with hue, saturation and lightness. Remembering a colour exactly is much harder than recognising it.
