    11... not bad. Had problems in the green-blue range and areas around indigo. Nice game ;).

      Apparently my colour perception is perfect :-O Even more remarkable considering I can barely see well enough to read these days with all the VDU hours I've accumulated.

          Ermmmm 207 for me. I am colour blind in mixed colours.... Sadly it looked perfectly ok to me.

          I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days :)

            20. Is this not also partly a test of how good your monitor is though.

              Wow - can't believe the other scores here. I am partially sighted, (seriously) but scored a perfect 0!!! :cool: ...and stop blaiming your monitors. OK, mine is good, but due to my eye problems I have both the brightness and contrast turned right down to minimum settings. It is a test of relative colours, os unless your monitor is really screwy it shuoldn't matter that much how well calibrated or true to "real life" it is...

                I suspect that, on a CRT you will have much better 'luck'.

                  Yup, I rearranged all the blocks until they looked right to me. Maybe my career as a fighter pilot or train driver is over before it even started.

                      Cool game, but it's too much affected by the monitor.

                      If you truly believe you need to pick a mobile phone that "says something" about your personality, don't bother. You don't have a personality. A mental illness, maybe - but not a personality. - Charlie Brooker My Photos/CP Flickr Group - ScrewTurn Wiki

                        Based on your information, below is how your score compares to those of others with similar demographic information. * Your score: 4 * Gender: Male * Age range: 16-19 (18) * Best score for your gender and age range: 0 * Highest score for your gender and age range: 1520 I had a LOT of trouble with the third bar and blue hues (though leaning more towards cyan/turquoise.) Unfortunate that they don't provide an average score for each particular age range - it would be interesting to see.

                                          Yeah I had that too :S Another forum I go to has a whole heap of users who refuse to use 6-bit monitors over their expensive 8-bit monitors because they claim the colour reproduction on 6-bit monitors is hopeless compared to an 8-bit. It would be interesting to see just how much a difference a better monitor would make :P In fact I think I'll go and spread the word of this test right now! Oh and btw I am currently winning :]
