Yeah FancyFox, that's why I scored so terribly: I have an extremely cheap and old monitor! Yeah, that's the ticket... :twisted:

on the new test I scored 0 giving me a perfect score. male 29. but I must say the colour spectrum in this test is very small making it easy.

In my opinion http://xritephoto.com/online-color-test-challenge is a much better test since there are more shades so a wider spectrum of colour is used.

Hello,

I did the first test and scored 0 for a women between 50-59.

So, I decided the try the harder test. I scored 3. Not so bad.

I used a full Mac computer screen in day light.

Nicky,

I have to smile! I'm getting to that point as well!
I blame my crappy score on the second test on being tired, and only having that accursed laptop display...

Scored a zero on a Samsung Galaxy S8.

One of the things I have been thinking about in relation to colour in gemstones (and in general over the last bit) is the inherent bias in the concept of colour vision deficiency. I plan on testing my hypothesis using my brother in law (extreme R/G colour blind), but I am expecting that he will likely be able to discriminate between isochromic (to us normies) oranges where one is a pure spectral orange, and one is a result of mixing spectral red and yellow.

There even exists (due to the banded nature of chromophoric absorption bands in gemstones) the possibility that individuals with the different kinds of dichromacy (or even cerebral vision deficiencies) might be able to distinguish chromophoric origins of colour that we can't.

Hahah, (joking...) then I can maybe rent out my sister's husband as a cuprian tourmaline detector, or at least have him show off his magic trick at the next Tucson Meetup.

We often discuss what to call colors, but rarely how we "see" colors.

Let us know your score....the poll is anonymous. :wink:

Oh, I have 0, great. It reminded me when I started to study as a graphic designer, I climbed a bunch of different sites with similar tests to improve the perception of colors, this is a super practice. By the way, now I can help, I think that there are those who interact with colors at work or maybe a hobby. So on the https://create.vista.com/colors/palettes/tan-color-palette/ there are various color palettes, all sorts of color schemes that will suit your taste for your work, it saves time and makes work easier.
