I scored a 278 on this.  My friend who emailed to me got a 267.  How did you do?

Loved it. 42. A good screen would do wonders. My old Apple laptop with the white background having an orange tinge would not be the optimal viewing tool.

I took this test last year, and aced it with a score of zero. I have been blessed with good eyes when it comes to color variation.

Then my 218 isn't too good then!  Time for a new set of glasses.

This is been referenced before, but since I couldn't remember what I got I did it again.

4 on a calibrated display. I hosed up 4 in a row in the green-verging-on-yellow range.

It means you are not in the top percentile of those who see color is all. It is not bad in itself, as the lower the score means you see shade variation better. The majority of males fall into that category. It is a case of whether you have been blessed with really good eyes for the task or not. I have a friend of mine that is totally color blind, he would ask me if his shirt went with his pants or not sometimes. I being the good friend I was would on occasion tell him something looked right when it did not, but most of the time I told him it was fine. If you cannot have fun with your friends, who else can you have fun with? :rofl:

217 for me

I did this before and got perfect or whatever. Takes too long to bother doing it again.
