So how well can you see colours?

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

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 :]

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.

I didn't move anything, and simply hit the submit button - I scored 980.

I got twelve, but the test takes too long so I rushed the last two strips. This makes a good waste of thime at work. Thanks ;)

Great good job.

11 - but "Highest score for your gender and age range: 1462" - somebody must be trying hard to maximise their score :rolleyes:

Monitor calibration will play a large part in this.

Huh, mine was perfect! (no kidding!) :doh: And my monitor is not too fancy, cheapest 24" from Samsung: syncmaster 245b, but I guess still good for colors.

[Zhat]

Hehehe, took about a minute...actually scored 0! Perfect score, not bad for an old man.

[ednrg]

Great find. Thanks!!! I got a 51% on my horrible work monitor.

16. My eyes are bleeding. :P I was a little afraid because a couple of years ago I visited a doctor and I failed a test or two on color recognition which scared me a little, but she said it was in the error margin, although while performing the test I got an impression she was surprised I didn't see that number among the colorful balls...
