    How's Your Color Vision?

    I suppose this fits with "Technical Challenges". Here's a neat online test to check your color vision and find out where you may be having problems:

    Munsell Hue Test

    It probably also helps determine if you're working from a monitor that allows differences subtle enough for you to make them out.

    If nothing else, it's interesting.

    I managed to score a perfect 0.
    Your honest C&C is always welcome and appreciated.
    For those with such interests, My Gear

    Very interesting.. I'll have to try this out at my home workstation when I have more time. Looking at that just made me realize just how bad my display on my netbook really is (in the light I am currently in). I can't see a difference in many of the boxes to determine their order.

    8 for me. The green to purple (line 3) being the hardest to figure out. They all looked the same to me.

    ahh, I remember seeing this posted quite a while ago... it definitely helps to have a good monitor and good lighting.
    Thanks,

    My work monitor gets a 9. Is this an accurate test to see if you monitor is calibrated? Thanks for sharing.

    No not really because you may have a perfectly calibrated monitor but have crap colour vision. I think people such as myself are blaming their crap colour vision on their monitors . However a well calibrated monitor will make the job easier.

    Perfect zero. Something I don't get though...it says best score for my age range is "-4" but if perfect is zero, how can there be a negative?
