According to this stupid color acuity test on FB...

Interesting test. I thought it was going to take forever but after getting the hang of it with the first row, things went rather quickly.

Got a 22. Which I thought was pretty good until I saw what others are posting.

I took the test on my laptop this time (PC last time) I can’t remember my exact score to compare it to, but I think my current 8 is slightly worse.

But that could be bias, since I think the colour is worse on the laptop.

Woohoo! Just tried it again on a different computer and got a perfect 0!

I got an 8. And this was on my pretty poorly calibrated screen at work. My home monitor has a better color gamut so maybe I’d have been able to score perfect there.

I’m glad I have pretty good color acuity, as I’m a photographer. My wife has horrible color differentiation…she tells me some shades are very strange colors and such when I can clearly see they are not. The test at least lets me know I’m not completely crazy. :slight_smile:

4, only problem area was the green/turquoise spectrum.

34 year old male.

I’ll be interested to see if anyone gets worse than my score (172). If total color blindness gets you that 1520, I expect someone here will have it worse off than I do.

Or not.

Another 4. 39 year old male.

I got 0.
According to the compare results page, 99 is poor. I guess they don’t expect anyone to get 1500 or more…
I knew my color discrimination was good. So’s my color memory. I can go buy a tee shirt that exactly goes with my trousers at home - and I know from shopping with my friends that most people have to bring their existing piece of clothing with them in order to buy something that goes well with it. Too bad my vision mostly sucks otherwise.

I got a 16, which is a lot better than I was expecting considering my visual ailments.

Hooray, a 16 for me!

I’m curious to see how my husband does on a test like this, because we’re always disagreeing on whether a color is more greenish or blueish.

4! And I used to be a picture framer too!
This may be totally out of left field, but a small wonder to me is whether there is a correlation between how well or how poorly someone perceives color with their eyes and instances of color related synesthesia. Are there higher instances of synesthesia among those who see color better or worse?

I got a 0 on the same machine, but color is a big part of my aptitude, education & profession…

I worked on it a bit at work, but did not complete it. I knew the complete POS monitor there was not helping.

I came home on my nice IPS monitor and got a perfect score.

I got a 23 with my biggest problem being the green-blue transition

BTW, the website it is on is a company that sells monitor color calibrators, so it isn’t an accident that this is a major theme in this thread.

I scored a 7, but my eyes hurt now. :confused:

I got a 4!

Weird how we all seem to have troubles in the blue-green one. I wonder if it’s something wrong with the test.

I got an 8, but the range I messed up in is the bottom bar. By that time, I was a bit bored, so I’m claiming ADD instead of color blindness.

99

They say scores range from 0{best} to 1520 for my age and gender.

I wonder what the statistical spread is, though.

I found the missing shade of blue. :smiley:
