Dialed, a color memory game

People are usually not great at remembering exact colors. Dialed is a fun memory game to test that theory. You get five seconds to memorize a color and then adjust hue, saturation, and lightness to match. Each attempt gets a score.
I wonder if FlowingData readers, who often have to match shades in a chart with color legends, will naturally do better. I only scored 39, which I’ll take as reinforcement that direct labeling is better than legends and not that I have a terrible memory.
