So how well can you see colours?

[Simon P Stevens]

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.

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 :)

I wonder how difficult it would be on my old Amstrad's black & green monitor.

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

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.

Really nice link! 20! Quite a good proof that my monitor's fairly well calibrated :)

I think my monitor is fine, it's my eyes that need recalibrating :)

Wow. I managed a 19.

31, and now my eyes are going mental. :suss:

[Lost User]

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 :]

I got 8 :) I thought my eyes were worse

37. Unfortunately, test results are probably skewed based upon your monitor, video adapter, and any color management provided by your video driver. I'm still using a pair of 21" CRT's here at work, and neither one is in particularly great shape. I'll have to try this again tonight at home, where I've got a much nicer LCD.

Most emphatically not true. Talk to a human factors engineer about color perception some time. Also talk to anyone who works in high-end video production or desktop publishing. A given combination of monitor, video adapter, and video driver settings produces a color response curve. Many of the standard HTML color encodings either can not be distinguished or are displayed incorrectly depending upon these considerations.

Doubtful. LCD's surpassed CRT's in color range a long time ago.
