I got 24 for this test; I did it a few days ago. Gosh it's hard!

16 and I was doing on a laptop with not the best screen in the world and in bad lighting....

I have terrible distance vision and wear glasses to correct it; apparently I can see colors fairly well. Scored a 4. Interesting test. I might forward this to a friend who i know has some color blindness just out of curiosity

Worse than I thought! And I'm the one who works in a fabric store! Not to mention I've always considered myself to have good color vision.

I'll try again Thursday morning when I've had a decent night's sleep and have the day off.

Thing to keep in mind, your computer monitor and its ability to properly display colors will factor into this test.

I will also add I took 40 minutes looking at all of the colors and deciding what went where Much of it was getting colors where I thought the should generally go and then I individually moved each chip 1 spot to its right and then left and determined if it looked correct in terms of brightness/shade.

I also didn't work on one single color for more than 5-6 minutes at a time. Basically when I felt the colors were getting blurry/blending I switched to arranging a different color set.

I had issues in the green/blue spectrum, apparently. It helped if I put them into what I thought was the best order, then sat further away and scanned the lines for gradation. Very interesting test, reminds me of some of my college art classes!

I had similar results.

I'm sending this test to a friend who works in theatre costume design. She'll find it interesting.

My eyes keep going buggy because of the extreme contrast between the color swatches and the background. It would be a lot easier for me if the background was white.

Still, I got a 12.

I'd be curious what the average score was for different age ranges and genders.

Chanlin, I did the same thing. It really helped me.

LillFilly, I also had difficulty with the green/blue spectrum. The other 3 I handled pretty easily, but that one I had to spend the most time on. And that's also the one that I missed a couple on.

I wasn't surprised either. I've always known that I had trouble telling whether certain shades were green or blue. This just confirmed it.

Biggest issue was the blue/green spectrum. Which I knew, as I've been unable to differentiate shades of blue for years.

[CrazedClerkthe2nd]

I guess I'm the only guy who has tried so far. I got a 68, but the site does note men are generally much worse than women at differentiating colors.

[Kristev]

27. I expected to do better than that.
