Do You Have a Color Vision Deficiency?
Want to find out if you have any deficiencies in your color vision? Try the the Online Color Challenge by Pantone and X-Rite. It tests your ability to discriminate among hues by making you put 88 color tiles in order along four rows.
Any mis-placement reveals a defect in your color vision. Or a lousy uncalibrated monitor. Or a defect in your ambient lighting. Or some Doritos residue on your screen. Still, it only takes a few minutes and it’s fun.
See if you can beat my score.*
If you want to test your vision even further, head over to color-blindness.com where you can take several exams including the Ishihara 38 Plates Test, the F-M 100 Hue Test, the RGB Anomaloscope, the Kobiyashi Maru, and Hogwarts O.W.L. exams.**
*Score achived with a lousy uncalibrated monitor, lit by late afternoon sunlight, and smeared with Doritos residue.
**Some of these tests cannot be passed without cheating.

15 with same gender & age range. I skipped the Doritos tho ;)
So is a 6 for a 58 yr old female good. I know 0 is perfect but I can’t find any info to describe the scale.
My result was 4 :) i had problems in blue-green section. The others perfect it seems ^^ I’m 27 yo male
perfect color vision, score 0 – age 53, pretty good for an old git (smug grin)
Over 50 male. Scored 4 on my second try.

Other layers were perfect. :D

0 – perfect score!
Got a 0 – perfect score! No wonder I was a color designer. :)
I got a 7, 28 year old male. So I guess I’ve got the age and vision leverage. I’m getting all the chicks.
19, Mail, got a 0 (perfect score)
Woo!
I got 8, 30-39 yo female; and I may have had afternoon sun AND a couple of wines before completing the last exercise, so I’m very happy with the result!
Though my wife might disagree at times, I got a perfect score.
10 and I’m a 62 year old woman. Not bad!
I got a 4 this time. Scored 0 the last time I took this about a year ago.
I got an almost perfect score of 4!
My “slight” defincies are in the yellow-green area.

Scored perfect 0 – guess I have a pretty decent monitor (and no Doritos)!
24! I’m not afraid to say it. All you whippersnapper 0’s out there. Also, dirty 15″ laptop monitor. And 10pm after waking at 5am. Still …. I thought 24 was pretty good!
35 female, score 0 – perfect! :) Even with my crappy monitor.
I scored a 10 on my lousy laptop monitor with my eyes still stinging from my morning Restasis drops. I should have re-checked on my work monitor–and maybe will later in the day–but not bad, all in all, for an old lady.
I got 8,
36 yrd Male
My score was 3! Age 30-39 female. My deficiency was in the green-blue section. Looks like I can ditch these glasses :)
My score was zero.
I did this test a while ago and scored a 3. I impressed myself!
I made a perfect 0 age 15-19 female
This is the first time I have been happy with making a zero in my life
I scored 0 (perfect colour vision). But I know I’m colour blind, so I’ve a feeling this test doesn’t work.
Nice, my score was 0. It comes in handy if your am artist and you draw and paint stuff.
