How Well Can You See Color?

[NSSewer]

Could you be colorblind without even knowing it? While one out of 255 ladies suffer from mild colorblindness, a whopping one in 12 men can't tell the difference between chartreuse and lemon-mint. Egads!

Don't fret, we've found this nifty online quiz to test your color identification skills. Be warned: the test, made by X-Rite, manufacturer of color matching products, is not as easy as you might think. If you dare, follow the link to discover your true colors... or at least, your true color knowledge. Brag about or lament your score in the comments section below. (Note: We got a 12!)

I stole extracted this very interesting article from Huffingtonpost and wanted to share. Ever since discovering a lady can see about two million colors because of her fourth cone (we mere humans only have three and can only see about a million colors). My interest in color has been renewed! I took the test and before my vision went completely crossed I scored about a 140.

Scored a 69. And I think I'm blind now.....! Cool test!

[Hallett 82]

108 . . hmmm . . not sure what that means.

[Ms. Piffle]

I scored 8. Much better than expected, especially since my Dad and both of my sons are 'color blind', or color deficient as one DR. referred to it.

Woo Hoo - I scored a 4

Who would miss it by 100???????????

[campanula]

I have got 10. Not bad, though...

[barbara10]

WELL, I scored a whopping 147!! Not only am I color blind, now I am BLIND as well after taking that test. Neat! Now I need a beer! After all, it is 5:00 somewhere!

Great test! I took it and scored 4. Then I took it again, a little more slowly - and scored 0!!

Jerry, how do you capture the screen shot, or whatever it's called? I use Windows XP.

I was really surprised as I scored an 8 on this.

[moosic]

Got 76, which i thought was a good score until i saw others! Yep, now blind though!!

[trottigy]

OOPS never saw this question - I use the and buttons. Then I paste in MSPaint and select only what I want to post. I save that as a jpeg file and attach.

Thank you Jerry. That's more or less what I read in Wikipedia. But it doesn't work for me! When I press and nothing happens!!

I got 21 so pretty happy with that.

It was funny to do :-)

Not sure what score I would get for the color portion of the test .... but just looking at it and reading the directions, I scored a "0" ... for patients - looked to take more time than I wanted to exert.

[GrumpysWife]

18 is that good or bad?

[Holly]

I scored a 7!  Not too bad! 

[Jewelz]

18 is that good or bad?

[NSSewer]

Oh my where did this come from? I remember this from the last site we were on!! So it has transferred...with me... with us...so I retook the test and oh boy the test results are the exact same 140!  I thought we improve with age!? So just like the last time my eyes crossed and I kept trying to move further away from the screen. I couldn't see after a while with my readers on! Hey wait a minute I would like to go back in time to see what else is there! Sounds creepy... even though time seems to be moving so so fast lately!

They must have changed the test and the Results screens are now different.

 

Depending on the the monitor/screens that you look at, it may affect your result. I have set my monitors to be darker and cooler light which I got a score of 2 (it showed up position 23/24 as the error), then set it to just warm, and scored a 2 again, but in a different colour band (39/40). I then set it to standard and got a 0.

You might try this if you are still using XP

How do I use the Snipping Tool in Windows XP?
Open the Start Menu and click All Programs → Accessories → Snipping Tool. Click New or select the type of screenshot (snip) you want to take using the drop-down menu (default is Rectangular Snip). Click and drag your cursor over the area you would like to capture. The Snipping Tool editor will automatically open.

 

It has been a while since I used XP and no longer have a PC with it installed to check this out.

 

I know - I know ... those posts were from 2012 better late than never, I have heard.
