How good is your color vision?

I scored a 48 the first time and 30 the second (perfect score is zero). Not sure how big a part monitor quality plays. I could have sworn I aced it both times.

A larger color calibrated display would go a long way to helping but nearly everyone has color deficiencies.

Must have been the monitor working for me. Got a 10.

I have absolutely no color sense. When I go to a paint store I have to find a woman and ask her if colors match.

I've always scored reasonably well on this one; kinda surprised that I snagged a "perfect" this morning.

Dang, that's good. I'm at the Palo Alto library now and just score a 7 on their happening monitors. I'm feeling a bit younger and more vital now, praise be to glory. Can't figure how to capture the image. I tried to email it, maybe it worked, not sure.

I got a 16 on my first try. Good enough that I won't do it again...

Took a little while, but...a 34.

I think a lot of the guessing has to do with the quality of the monitor you're using...I might try this later, back at work...

got a 38 with my Dell flat panel.
When I worked at the paper, we went on a kick for a short time of wanting the monitors adjusted to reflect what something would look like on our newsprint. Sent me around calibrating monitors with a machine set up to do just that. Thought I was gonna be tarred and feathered! Fact is, not much looks good on newsprint.
