Name That Blue October 20, 2013 6:58 AM Subscribe
Name That Blue is a very simple little game where you're presented with a field of blue belonging to a "popular brand" and given two choices of companies to which it could belongs. Feedback is just correct/incorrect, and it keeps a tally. MetaFilter blue comes up pretty frequently.
(via @siracusa) I have no idea if you "win" as it seems endless. I stopped at 50 or so.

Didn't recognize "the blue" time to switch away from the professional white background.

This was actually posted to front page,
I posted the URL in the search field and got a negatory response "across all sites." sorry if this is redundant.

No worries; I think it was originally part of their main site, and then got its own domain.

It looks like he has since bought/changed the URL- it's different in the FPP.

It was all a plan to get double posted! Muahahahahahaa!!!
In all seriousness, I'm amazed at the response the game has had. It's been getting crazy amounts of traffic this weekend, and I'm still buzzing off the positive feedback.
Thanks again MF for being the _first_ to share the game and start the ball rolling that's given my silly idea more attention than I could possibly imagine.

Yay!
The original thread is still open, so I'll close this and people can go over there if they want to compare results in the game.
