If you've got 5 minutes to spare, this color test from X-rite is kinda fun.

I scored 55 but am now blind and cross eyed! :-)

Huh, kinda cool. I scored a 12. Interesting too see the areas where my hue discrimination is low. It would be really interesting to take this test about once a year to see how your hue discrimination changes over time.

Very interesting. I've never seen a test like this.
At first I thought NO way could I even begin to arrange those colors, hardly any difference!

I scored a 19.
They should give a histogram for your age range.
Just the minimum and maximum isn't very informative.

I thought I did better than I did...scored a 49. I stumbled most in the areas where the hues were the palest. Thanks for the link Paul. How'd you do?
I tried it a second time and got 21 :biggrin:

Yeah, that is pretty cool, and more than just a little disorienting! I scored a perfect 0, but I've had lots of practice recently picking out paint swatches for the house. :wink:

Woops, shoulda posted my score. I got an 8. I might try again just for fun.

Thanks for sharing that Paul! Pretty cool! I scored an 8 but I was really hoping I could beat the Dunn by getting a -1 but no luck. :frown: :wink:

Scored a 29. Wow that messed with my eyes! I had to intentionally blur my vision at times and that seemed to help discern the hues a bit more.

Interesting, i scored an 11 but it was on a crummy monitor--i think monitor quality is gonna make a huge difference in the results!
