Test your colour IQ

[ngma]

Who is Munsell? And why should you care? The answer will change the way you design with color. And it’s only a click away and takes a couple of minutes.

Do this Colour IQ test to see how good your colour vision is. Reassure me that my mates are the oddities and I'm normal!
FYI J got 7 and I got 4 (lower is better)

Ooh, I did that a week or so ago and was very pleased to get 0 :)

Hmmm, did this on a new LCD monitor with variable contrast/backlight, got 51, tried on an older LCD monitor with a simple backlight, got 31. I've not tried on a CRT, but I would expect to get a lower score, as a CRT has much better colour reproduction.

Hmm. I got 20 on my LCD, I don't have a CRT hanging around anywhere to try it on. Now all I need is for someone to connect my apparently-quite-good colour perception to the bit of my brain that can never come up with good colour schemes for websites ;)

We both did it on my LCD. Am not sure if mine was a fluke whilst J was very tired:-)

Yay colour twin, I got 4 too!
Pete couldn't be arsed so I'm giving him a score of 1000,000.

Hmmm. I got 12, which doesn't seem to be as bad as I'd thought.

This is on the (slightly grubby) LCD screen of my MacBook, fwiw.

I got a 0. Admittedly the girls had just cleaned the laptop screen with a wet-wipe so it wasn't as grubby as normal.

I'm surprised that my colour vision is as good as this test indicates. Jow isn't, and has pointed out that I'm actually quite good with colours. I'm still not convinced.

I think I'll post the link at work and see if there's any kind of clear divide between the artists and the rest of us.
