Test your colour vision

Well, I'm not sure how much color depth you need or how calibrations might affect this, but I had the power save setting on that I use for surfing the first time: that didn't make it easier to see anything.

Brightness changes, or low colour depth would definitely affect one's ability to take this test.

I was more talking about the "natural" variation between different brands and ages of monitors.

I got a -1

Alliecat · 06-24-2012, 10:16 PM

Minus? Really? Did it say why?

**interested_observer** · 06-25-2012, 03:37 AM

Scored a 70 - so does that mean I win - right? 62 and have worn coke bottom bottle glasses my entire life. I am just happy to see...

i improved a bit my previous score : 10 (instead of 15)

Male - 19-29.

i did the test without glass this time. I guess my screen need calibration because in the green one, some square didn't fit anywhere for me !

Scored a 0. Been in the print business so seeing shades of colors is pretty normal. I'm approaching 49.

daveej · 06-25-2012, 06:53 AM

scored a perfect 0. Age range 40-49. I'm a graphic designer, so maybe that helps (critically look at design and color all the time)?

Did all you guys do about a 1 minute arrangement? maybe i should focus

Like I said, I took it twice. Probably 1-3 minutes each time. I would think that being a designer would help, but my colleague that fancies herself as a designer scored a 58. I think that it is more tied to personality.
