Cool test to see how well you can differentiate hues of color.

Lower score = better.

I took it and got a 0 which is supposedly perfect color vision *shrug*

A lot could depend on monitor quality as well, but it was a fun test.

Try it on a calibrated one if you can, and see the difference!

Cool test... But it takes too long. I'm a busy guy. I'll bookmark it and try it later.

Your score: 20
Gender: Male
Age range: 20-29 (I'm 25)
Best score for your gender and age range: 0
Highest score for your gender and age range: 99

In the top 25% anyways. My monitor (21" Samsung LCD) does need calibration. I found that if I took breaks my eyes were able to work better than trying to do it all at once.

Did the first two bars and scored 454. The bar graph looked perfect half way across until it obviously came to the second two bars. My eyes were out of whack by then....

Oh well......

I scored an 8 with all the errors on the red-blue hue line. I did it on my laptop so I am blaming that. ;) I'll have to try again on my calibrated monitor at home.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

Amazingly I got perfect, using my notebook screen. Though, I did calibrate it once several months back. I was sure I'd have messed up a few of them.

One thing that helped was to close my eyes for a bit every now and then to rest them.
