How well do you see color?

[gevorg]

Take the online color challenge, based on the Farnsworth Munsell 100 Hue Test.

I got an 8. Probably could have done better, but I didn't want to spend too much time on it.

 

[FeuerFrei]

I did that yesterday and got 11. Pink and turquoise were problematic.

 

[shortylickens]

Enough to get pissed off when I see someone using the wrong White Balance.

 

[Smoove910]

I got an 8 as well...

 

[Railgun]

I got a 3...which is BS...that was dead on.

 

[brianmanahan]

i got a 7

 

[akugami]

Scored a 4.

Quality of your monitor can affect your score.

 

[Smoove910]

old lady got a 40 something... maybe I shouldn't listen to her opinions on a good picture. LOL!

I almost fell for it! Trying to waste 10 minutes of my life? Close buddy, im getting back to work!

 

[Binky]

This is a test of patience as much as color blindness.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

7 for me

 

[nickbits]

I got 102 and I spent way too much time trying to figure it out.

This depends hugely on how well your monitor is calibrated. With many having errors above 10 colour shades much of the problem is going to be the monitor. If you have an IPS monitor that is calibrated then that person will fair enormously better than someone with a TN monitor and especially a typical TN monitor that is very poorly calibrated. This difference unfortunately will invalidate all the results.

It takes too long!! (I have seen that one before)

 

[DigDog]

got 250.

was pretty sure i nailed it. but then again i've always been horrible with colour.

 

[Imp]

45...

I shouldn't be surprised considering that I'm practically blind without glasses on.

I got a 4 on an old CRT monitor.

 

[Red Squirrel]

At first I was like "There's no way I'm doing that, it's too much work!" But I did it anyway since I was curious. Got a 4. Have to admit it's very tricky since if you concentrate too hard it's actually even harder to make up the difference as you go into a "zone".

I find the easiest was to group the similar shades together first at the proper end of the spectrum without worrying about individual color order. Once they were "close enough" it was easier to make out what had to be changed and get precise.

Edit: I do have an Asus IPS monitor calibrated with a Spyder Pro 3 so my colors are spot on.

Does one actually see better with a good score on an uncalibrated monitor?

 

[jaedaliu]

It's a fun test. I didn't do very well on the monitor. But when I took it IRL, I got them right.

When you really take the test at the Optometrist's office, a special white light is used to remove the types of issues that we're seeing with calibration.

I have an uncalibrated monitor that I butchered in terms of color accuracy because the brightness/contrast was irritating. No colors show up properly on my monitor... Maybe that had an effect on my crap score.

Yea I think the monitor does make a difference took it again on a TN panel uncalibrated and got a 28. on my IPS panel I get 0 everytime. It's easier to see subtle shifts between the gradients.
