"FACT: 1 out of 255 women and 1 out of 12 men have some form of color vision deficiency.
Take the online color challenge, based on the official FM100 Hue Test by X-Rite. "

Here is the color test:

When you first post this, I didn't bother to open the link...busy doing other stuff. Now I have time, and I have done this test awhile ago. I did pretty well. Maybe I'll retake the test and see how well I do this time around.

Absolutely! If your job is to sort out those paint chips in the house paint dept.

For a photographer or artist? Not so much. Color is relative for human vision and we have awful color memory. Watch this video www.ted.com/talks/beau_lotto_optical_ill...show_how_we_see.html

Wow, never thought I'd be happy to say I got a zero on a test!

Sure, practice makes perfect but, unless you learn from your mistakes, you are only perfecting your ability to fail.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
