where this color comes from
The Japanese flag, the Hinomaru, is a red disc on a white background. In Color Guesser, the red of the disc is the one to guess: #BC002D in the game's drawing, taken from the open-source flag-icons library. It's the shade of the drawing used in the game, not an official color.
This red is darker and cooler than you might think: a crimson, with a hint of raspberry. It is close to the red of the Jordan national team (#C10A2F, a ΔE gap of 1.3) and to the red of the British flag (#C8102E, ΔE of 3.2). It is clearly darker than the red of the Turkish flag (#E30A17, ΔE of 11.5). Since the disc stands out against a large white field, memory lightens it, and many players choose a bright red that is too light. In the big square, start from red, slide a little toward pink and make it darker.
