How well do you see colour?
My friend Carla in Canada sent me a really interesting link this week – it’s a test on how well you see colour and can differentiate different hues.
I just assumed I was perfect….well you do, don’t you?….
…I wasn’t, but was still a fair bit better than average for my age, which is reassuring!
Why don’t you give it a try, it only takes a couple of minutes. You can click here if you’d like to!

PS Do let me know if you get a perfect score – I’ll be deeply impressed!

I got 33, not entirely sure if that’s good or bad!

Didn’t do too bad; scored an 8. Rather surprised as my eyes are definitely not what they used to be!
July 6th, 2012 at 9:21 am
Gosh, sends your eyes a bit funny, doesn’t it?!! I got 20, which I’m quite chuffed with!
Wow Vreni, 8 is excellent!!
You’re quite right, one assumes that colour vision would automatically be perfect… I wonder how the men do, who tend to be colour ignorant? Perhaps not so badly since colour names are not in question (ever discussed with a man what turquoise is?!!!).

Turns out I am not that great. I got 34.

I scored 16, which I am happy with given that my eyes were half on the colours and half on the baby!

I got 20, which given I’m on the crappy monitor at work rather than my nice colour balanced one at home, I’m happy with! My eyes are all funny now though o.O

I was a 19. An 8 is impressive, Vreni!!

Feel a bit big headed now – when I see all you comments got a perfect score = 0 !
You have perfect color vision! – copied and pasted off my results! Feel a bit light headed now!
I do love colour and know immediately if an embroidery thread doesn’t match!!
Thanks for the great link Helen, have a happy and colourful week.

Wow, I am impressed with all those results – you all certainly did better than I despite the fact that I was better than average for my age group. Think I’ll try again.

I got 4, but that was on my iPad which makes it easier to see thana static screen I suspect – good fun, thank you x

I didn’t do very well – my score was 22. But it reminded me of this article: http://discovermagazine.com/2012/jul-aug/06-humans-with-super-human-vision/article_view?b_start:int=0&-C=
It must be fascinating to see the way those women see!

You just made my day by providing this quiz! I had a perfect score!! Thanks!

I did pretty good, 31. But it was hard. The colors kept changing.
July 6th, 2012 at 5:39 pm
What an interesting link. My score was 29.
July 6th, 2012 at 7:10 pm
OK, so much for me thinking I was not competitive. Deeply impressed by the 8.
I originally scored 47 but after seeing these scores and after a 2 hour narcolepsy nap I did it again & scored 16. LOL
Great test Helen!!

I couldn’t make head or tale of it. I obviously haven’t got a brain, never mind the ability to judge colour-lol
July 6th, 2012 at 10:56 pm
I got a 12, I’m feeling pretty good about that score.
July 7th, 2012 at 5:43 pm
I got 12. I am going to try it later with my ipad and see how much of it was a test of my monitor quality too.
July 7th, 2012 at 10:10 pm
Well, no perfect score for me either! I got a 4. It is hard to do with the glare on my laptop but I’m pretty happy with the score.
July 8th, 2012 at 8:26 am
I got a 4. I’m good with color. 🙂
July 8th, 2012 at 5:29 pm
PS my husband got 16 so he’s good, too!!
July 9th, 2012 at 7:24 pm
Fascinating! I wasn’t expecting great results but ended up with a ‘Perfect 0’ so I’m now in such deep shock that I need to dive into a bowl of Strawberries & Cream to celebrate 🙂

The reds and greens seemed tougher, but I pulled-out a perfect score in the end. We just spent a couple of months choosing house paint colors — a bit like a Kaplan course for paint hue-ing. Very interesting. Thanks for the link.
