you beat me! son of a bitch!!!!!

I had a 94. :laugh:

then again, I am red/green color deficient. Am I cheating? :p
And I was using an LCD which I know for a fact has HORRIBLE color representation. So many colors I saw on my family's old CRT I no longer see. Hell, the LCD they just got, I'm pretty sure has better color representation.

Just curious, after you did the test did it show the same areas that you are color deficient in ?
The area I was lacking in is the blue/green, but it was really close.

Exactly. I'm using a four year old, uncalibrated LCD monitor with poor color reproduction. Regardless of my ability I am not going to see what someone using a brand new, high end LCD will.

I think the main idea of the test is to point out major problems seeing color that people might not realize they have.

If your not scoring a 500 or something I wouldn't be concerned.


I recall a guy that was 24 years old in EE school that did not realize he was color blind. He thought that was the way everyone saw things.

I scored a 4. I don't work with color at all.

Evidently, I have some form of hue discrimination. :) Am a Hueist? :(

I didn't really bother looking at the graph result, as I didn't really know how to read it. But it was pretty bad across the board, but to me, it appears as if at least green or red is used in each of the rows, so I was basically set up to fail.

I got a 4 on a really crappy toshiba laptop lcd.

I don't know if it's considered cheating to tilt the screen forwards and backwards to see the colours differently.

Although using a company Dell 1905FP, I think it's color reproduction is at least more accurate than some 24 inchers they bought for the help desk guys.

I am using a CRT that was killing my eyes with all those colors. Probably would have been better with an LCD.

Yeah, like previous posts have been saying. A lot of it has to do with how good your color profile and your monitor is.
