Online Color Challenge

How well do you see color? Are you sure? Here's an online test where you just line up a bunch of colored squares, in the right order of a color gradient.

This is also a patience test. I did the first row and then tired of it. I scored perfectly for that first row though.

That's pretty cool. I got a 16 overall. I had the most trouble with the blue and greens.

I guess I could have given the test a little more concentration.

It got harder as I did the next rows, but I completed it and got a perfect score.

me too, and I found it did get harder, but easier at the same time. I know that doesn't make sense, but logically I could see the colours, so practice made it easier, but I found my vision getting a bit blurred by the end, so that made it harder.

Shoot - I got 22. Lowest score on the Cellar!
I thought I did pretty well, actually. Certainly according to the demographic scoring.

I blame my monitor. Of course.

29. All in the blue-green range.

I find it amazing, because I was meticulous about it, really working hard trying to get it exactly right. It just goes to show, we all have a slightly different view of the world.

Either that, or our monitors are all slightly different.

I know that I have optic nerve damage in one eye. Know that test where one is shown circles filled with hundreds of spots of color, and numbers are suggested from related colors? I can see them with one eye, and not with the other. Life is weird. It would help if I could recall which eye was broken, because I'd retake the test just using that one.
