Evil aliens have decided to kill everyone on Earth! Fortunately, they've given you two minutes to save as many as you can. All you have to do is name a country to save everyone in it.
The Crayola No. 64 assortment pack was the largest of Binney & Smith's crayon packs between 1958 and 1990. Can you name all 64 of these colors in eight minutes?
I have a dark mode filter active in my web browser, which can sometimes change onscreen colors a little. Usually it doesn't matter when just browsing the web, but I deactivated it for this specific quiz... anyone who has something similar may want to do the same.
Only got Robin Egg Blue wrong. Annoyingly I had originally got it right, but I changed it after I saw Cyan because I didn't think they were pretty much the same colour XD
on dutch wikipedia it shows a really dark color taupe, but within the introduction is also states that "it is commonly used to refer to a liver color", which is also what you get when you put taupe into google images
On that page I think the 8 big darkbrown circles supposed to have different colors. But only the name above it is shown with a different background color, the color they describe and the colors the big circles should have been. (Only taupe beige is missing which ís mentioned on the English page. On the English page pale taupe isn't displayed btw, though it is mentioned, there is no color sample and hex info)
I think success in this quiz depends partly on browser settings and the processing power of your graphics card or device. I suppose they're all standard web colours? If so, is there a Standard for how to represent these colours? I was a little surprised by a couple ...
This quiz has an element of subjectivity, the mauve shown is purple to me and the mauve that I chose is actually lilac, the taupe debate is interesting I believe that the lighter brown is more taupe than the darker brown and so on.
I got 12 out of 15 and would argue about the two above, but had no idea about the last one!
I missed taupe as well. It comes from the French word for a mole, as in the burrowing rodent. I guess the shade of taupe depends on which species of mole?
Even after you peel the skin off? The core is almost alway a shade of yellow or green. I heard that persian pistachios are pink inside, but I've never seen them.
I think I just straight up disagree with a couple of the answers... Taupe is, upon a glance at the dictionary, "grey with a hint of brown", which is what that middle answer is - the answer currently marked as correct is just brown.
I had absolutely zero clue what any of these fancily-named, supposedly different shades of usual colors were, so I simply raced through the quiz landing random guesses and got 13/15. I'll take the 4 points, thank you very much! B)
Yeah adding onto the other comments regarding taupe just not being a good choice here. I think the answer statistics for that one being so wildly below even the second least guessed answer is just another indication of that.
Adding to the comments about taupe - the dark choice is not remotely taupe. A quick internet search shows a wide range of mid- and light-toned tans and browns, not a dark chocolate shade.
"That's not blue, that's jacaranda"
Sadly, jacaranda was not featured on this quiz :(
