Test Your Color IQ

September 16, 2008 in Arty Stuff by Julia | 1 comment

XRite.com has a test at their web­site where you can see how well you can dis­tin­guish between very sim­i­lar hues by arrang­ing color chips in a smooth gra­di­ent from one color to another.? The color ranges used are ones which the human eye has a hard time dis­tin­guish­ing from one another — basi­cally some­what washed-out or muted pas­tels.? The lower your score, the bet­ter you are at telling sim­i­lar hues apart.

How did you do?? What is your Color IQ?

Mine was zero; accord­ing to the test I have per­fect color vision.? Of course, I also have a good-quality mon­i­tor for my com­puter, which can affect the test.? I guess all the web design, not to men­tion the lam­p­work­ing, has paid off.

    I got a 9. My mon­i­tor isn’t as good as yours … but it’s also a func­tion of genet­ics. Almost *all* of my mis­takes were con­cen­trated in the bound­ary between green/blue. My father was color blind, and I carry the gene for it. My sis­ter makes the same mis­takes, but whereas I will see things as more blue than they are, she will see things as more green. Ain’t genet­ics fun?
