17-20 depending on the colors. A lot of them were immediate but the dark blue/purples were difficult.

Was it just me or were all of them lighter? Were there any where the color was darker than the rest?

Just curious if that makes it more/less difficult or has any effect.

Squinting did help occasionally. As well as going with your gut usually. Fun way to spend a few minutes.

Edit: Sadly I couldn't score less than 1 since clicking the wrong color doesn't start it.

Speaking of vision, if my finger gets slightly blurry when it's less than three inches from my face, does that mean I need glasses?

Asking on a public forum might get you somewhere but you should probably see a qualified optician. They are medical professionals that can conduct a thorough eye test.

25 on first try. But then they go and compare my vision to a hawk, saying that I can somehow see a worm in a tree... which wouldn't have as much to do with my ability to distinguish color as it would my ability to discern detail at distance.

So I suppose a large helping of salt is required.

I don't understand the timed component. I can score 100% on this one:

But I ran out of time after getting 12 correct on the linked test. Edit: managed 28 after repeated attempts. I feel there is some luck of the draw here, depending upon which hues follow which previous hues, and the placement of the correct square.
