How Well Do You See Color?

Your score: 12

I knew some of them were wrong. But, eh, oh well. I settle with what I have. I'll probably end up with a higher score if I try again.

I just want to point out that this is really dependent on your monitor. A lot of the time your monitor displays colours incorrectly and that would probably have an effect on your results.

I actually filled this thing out two times just to be sure, and got the same results for both tries.

Tell us what color the dress is!

After 3 attempts, the lowest of them was 3, and the highest being 12. My color discrimination spectrum favors the blue range. I feel like I should be legally blind now.

Finally. An IQ test I don't suck at.

Can't help but feel this isn't the most scientific test though. It gives you all the time in the world to closely analyze it. (Someone could also install a browser-based color picking tool and cheat if they wanted to)

Furthermore, I would not be surprised that anyone who likes drawing digital art and/or has some skills in design or vectoring might have an upper-hand in this test. I work in web design where #45b7c1 is a world of difference to #45b6c0 so I'm trained to spot extremely minute hue differences.

Lastly a colorblind friend of mine wouldn't touch this test with a 10 foot pole. Turns out colorblind people find this test so frustrating that they would instead give an erratic result with no consistency to actual eyesight quality. So this is more of a dick measuring rod for fully trichromatic people

Exactly this. If you do the test with patience, you should be able to do good regardless.

All you really need to do is compare two boxes of color with each other at a time, and determine if one is faintly lighter or darker than the other. It's more about shade than color itself. It also gets easier if there is a third color to compare the two to.

Now, try making out a difference between two bright yellows. Not so easy anymore.

I really can't see a difference on the blues and greens o.o
