What's Your Color Acuity Score?

Post Reply New Topic

Interesting. I got a 34 when I took this a few months ago, but today I got a 14. I used the same computer.

I got a 12.

So 11. I will try once more- someday- on better monitor and better sleep.
But not bad I guess, and I have trade off of excellent night vision, even some color vision at night if it is starry or has moon up.


I am very mildly near sighted but I have also Prism Lenses on my driving glasses because concomitant strabismus (no fighter pilot job for me >_<). My vision actually improved quite a bit after 40. It is last 25-15. (darn left eye)

I rushed it towards the end. Oh well.

25, looks like I don't know my purples well.

Got a 2 in first try and a 0 in second one when I was more carefully.
I have a color vision deficite because I'm protanope.
I gess it depends on your screen a lot. Smartphones can be bad for this kind of tests.

I got 2 and it said my area of weakness was in the blue-green colours.

Same for me at the first try.

This is a very interesting result. You made a good point (other thread) about it being more about being able to see the differences in light to dark and tone. It makes me wonder, that if color blindness isn't the cause of poor color acuities, what would be?
You're right, it's unfairly skewed in favor of testees with high quality screens. In an ideal world I'd put all of my test subjects in a lab where I could control the all of variables. Maybe that'll be phase 2 .

And I got a perfect score, zero, first try this time around. New computer, better monitor I suppose.

So did I!

I did this before several years ago, I think I got two tiles mixed up and could tell something was wrong but not how to fix it. This time, perfect score, didn’t even have to stop to think about any.

Woo, first try. A lot of this depends on your monitor. I know I've designed digital designs before; colours can look quite different depending on what you're viewing a page on and your chosen settings. Sometimes when designing web pages or apps I'll think that I've picked a great shade of green, but then I'll view it on another monitor and it'll look different. Personally, I turned my monitor to the brightest setting it can go to for this test. Still, I'd say that I have a fairly broad colour perception anyway. I'm fairly used to colour matching and working with colour. When waiting for my lessons, I used to have an app on my phone where I'd sort colour hues for the sake of it to pass the time.

^ When I go into stores where they have TV or computer displays (all with the same picture), I'm fascinated by how much variation there is between the colors depending on the item.

I remember a couple years ago there was a viral picture of a dress that looked completely different color-wise based on the viewing device. Don’t remember what the color combinations were, but they weren’t even similar.

Edit: I looked it up, it’s either white and gold or blue and black, and it looks like it’s the lighting that causes the perceived color difference.

^ Haha ah yes the great war of the blue/black vs. white/gold dress
