I saw him on The Ferry in Glasgow several years back.
A few of the guys in the audience were dressed as chefs!

Jeez, it was 2007! I can't remember last week I'm afraid.
I wouldn't know any of his songs anyway - we only went for the entertainment value. He had a female singer and I remember he didn't sing much. He wore a giant kimono.

Somehow, I doubt any of them were *his* songs.

But I suspect that the accuracy of the screen displaying the colours is going to have a significant influence on the results. I'm certain that I'd have scored better if I was playing on my calibrated ProArt screen at home and not my phone screen.

I used to have a ready-made picture of a huge lizard to post whenever pasanonic bragged about the size of his monitor on /board,
but it died with b3tards.com so you'll just have to imagine it.

Crushed by a gigantic falling monitor.
Bragging about monitor size was a odd compensation for something.

Outdoors in the rain, on a crappy laptop, at 2 in the morning while half-pissed.

This assumes your monitor can show the colour difference...
anyone viewing it on a laptop with a shitty 6-bit screen is going to be unable to see differences.

Obviously not affected by gradient changes, though
They weren't trying known colour-blind, colour differences

My ΔE₀ₖ (Delta E OK) of 0.0049 is essentially perfect colour accuracy
So the algorithm is a bit borked. My main takeaway was that it was time to clean my screen so maybe it's just a behavioural control experiment sponsored by the people who make screen wipes.

And they are right - I do get annoyed when people cannot see two perfectly different colours.

I'm seeing "differences that most colour scientists call noise" apparently and should be calibrating screens for a living.

I’ll take that. Might try it in a bigger screen than my phone and see if out any easier.

I think it's colour dependent, some near the end I just had to guess but the last couple were really obvious.
I'm in the overthinking stage now. Would a cheaper monitor be better for this? If the colours are closer together than the monitor can handle, will it 'round to the nearest colour' which may be further apart? My monitor not a super high end one by any means, but not budget so probably 16m colours

Isn't this just a test of how good your monitor is?
