How sharp is your colour sense?
Posted on July 15th, 2012 by James Higham
Xensen [Blogright Reading] has an interesting colour test up. He does this for a living and I do it for a non-paid living with various sites. I found it very difficult. See what you think:

Had the one go at this as its intended and got a score of 4,the faults were in one small colour group and when I went back still could not see the fault , this is why those colour correction for monitor gadgets like the ones advertised above the test are so valuable if you use Photoshop or the like.
9 for me. It is in the bluey green area that I struggled. They actually made my eyes swim!
Oh dear – I scored 38, but for my age and gender it was nearer the good side of the scale than the bad – that’s my excuse, plus as Cherry Pie said, it made my eyes swim after a while, added to the fact that allergens are making my eyes sting just now. Excuses excuses….
Wasn’t easy. I didn’t finish as it did my head in, rather than my eyes.
I scored 62, but I falsely assumed it was timed, and sped through it like a crack baby.
I just re calibrated my monitor manually as I don’t have one of those Spyder or similar gadgets using the charts available, now that did make my eyes hurt, before I do my next lot of printing I’m going to get one as it does make a difference.
Its amazing how we all see differently especially color ranges the failure I had and found difficulty getting right when doing the monitor was in the green section I just cannot see the difference in that section I’m sure others have the same problems with different colors.
8 for me. I work in printing so I really ought to have done better.
