    I’ve got 174. As I remember correctly categorizing colors in your mind depends on your native language (or just language used), and some may even categorize the hues on this gradient to more basic colors in their language (like in Russian: зелёный [zʲɪˈlʲɵnɨj], голубой [ɡəɫʊˈboj] and синий [ˈsʲinʲɪj]).

    I think the boundary between the basic color equivalents for green, and blue (zielony /ʑɛˈlɔ.nɨ/ and niebieski /ɲɛˈbjɛs.ki/) in Polish are more moved more to the right, and that’s why I got 174. But I wonder if I have repeated that test in my native Polish if the results would differ (so they are even more to the right).

    Edit: I have manually changed strings on the website from English to Polish, making my mind to “think in Polish”. The result is 179 so I think that theory checks out.
