Farnsworth Munsell 100 Hue Color Vision Test
- amelius 5y agoCan we at least get a distribution of scores over the general population?
- mottosso 5y agoI got a 2! I'd imagine this depends not only on your vision, but also your display. A display with higher color contrast ought to give you an edge.
- stavros 5y ago> About your score: A lower score is better, with ZERO being a perfect score. I got a 2 as well.
- ReleaseCandidat 5y ago2 too
- MarkusWandel 5y ago2, with a calibrated sRGB display. Agree that exaggerated colour would probably make this easier.
- zeke 5y agoI got an 8 with red-green color blindness.
- 0-_-0 5y agoI got 0 on an OLED display at maximum brightness. I think I did this test before on worse screens and didn't get 0...
- aardvark179 5y agoIt does work best on a well calibrated screen. I can get 0 on a good desktop display, but on this phone with the brightness down and colour temp adjusted to match the ambient light I got a 4, and I can see that those sections of the colour wheel are getting crushed by the screen adjustment.
- stavros 5y ago> About your score: A lower score is better, with ZERO being a perfect score.
- jvdvegt 5y agoDoes dragging the boxes work like crap on every mobile browser, or just Firefox?
- aardvark179 5y agoIt is frustrating on Safari as well.
- readthenotes1 5y agoFirefox and brave worked fine for me on my phone. Maybe you're the victim of a bad device?
- daxuak 5y agoFrustating in chrome on PC as well.
- kzrdude 5y agoWorked ok-ish. Notable that the first and last box are fixed, so those are the most frustrating to move around.
- pupppet 5y ago2022 and draggable is still a mess.
- berkut 5y agoYeah, in Firefox, I can't seem to drag anything leftwards to the first two columns (third and onwards does work), I have to move those first two columns out to the right instead and shuffle them around...
- tomxor 5y agoIt's unusable. For some reason only the last row seems to reliably drop anything where you intend to (I expect invisible elements obscuring events). As someone who has implemented actually good, lightweight, MVC agnostic, keyboard accessible internal dragndrop library - I think dragndrop needs to die - for most purposes it really doesn't add much as an input method. For instance this activity could easily be implemented with buttons while still being intuitive.
- pmontra 5y agoI used my index finger on my Android phone with Firefox and it worked perfectly. Maybe drag and drop doesn't work as nicely with a mouse or a touchpad. After all we pick things up all the time with our hands, less often with tools. Mostly forks and spoons or chopsticks?
- rjzzleep 5y agoit's ok with a mouse, but absolutely unusable with a touchpad, at least for me.
- klodolph 5y agoPicked up a color gradient jigsaw puzzle a few years back. I recommend it, just because the experience is so interesting.
- smoyer 5y agoGot a zero on a cheap kindle fire but when I wanted to check the gradients in each row I had to look at the display at a somewhat oblique angle.
- wholinator2 5y agoGot a zero on a phone screen almost minimum brightness. Dragging sucked and confused me a bunchcause I'd try to move something and it wouldn't move. But my mother was a photoshop and color grading expert for hallmark for a couple decades so it's probably somewhat genetic advantage
- Aaargh20318 5y agoAlso zero on an iPhone 13 Pro, which has a very good/accurate display. I wonder how much the display used affects the score.
- msk-lywenn 5y agoMy display is crap and I managed zero too.
- momento 5y agoIn this test, a zero is a perfect score.
- martyvis 5y agoGot 0 on Pixel 3XL with 50% brightness. Dragging was a pain
- dbcurtis 5y agoThat was interesting. Scored 14. About 6 weeks ago I got a lens implant to replace a cataract-ravaged lens in my dominant eye. One of the first things I noticed after surgery was that the color temperature of that eye cooled noticeabley. My other eye has a less advanced cataract and of course the lens has yellowed. I found some of the rows easier with one eye versus the other. Fun test!
- scythmic_waves 5y agoGot a 0! Does this mean I'm a superchromat?!
- mromanuk 5y agoMe too, on my iPhone X screen. I thought that I messed up with some of those tiles, but apparently no. Interesting.
- londons_explore 5y agoI see quite a large jump between the left hand 5 boxes and the right hand 5 boxes... Is this an artifact of the screen or some rounding issue in displaying with 8 bit colors?
- Gabriel_Martin 5y agokind of a silly test, what is the proper order?
- zinekeller 5y agoThat's the point, it's randomised (except for the first and last blocks) so it shows how perceptive you are colour-wise. Maybe you're actually struggling with colour and should see a specialist if you can't really differentiate them (after ensuring that the screen is not the one having a fault).
- kadoban 5y agoWhat's the point in seeing a specialist if you suspect your color vision is crap? As far as I know, the vast majority is genetics and there's no treatments.
- ncfausti 5y agoSince endpoint boxes are fixed, there is a proper order. Given the ordered boxes x,y,z, and the endpoint colors L ... R: for every y, x should contain more of L, and z should contain more of R.
- Imnimo 5y agoI got 0, which was somewhat surprising because I struggle with some other colorblindness tests, like the dot circles. I think my colorblindness is on the milder side, but I was still expecting to get a few wrong on this one.
- PedroBatista 5y agoGot the perfect score, when in doubt I looked at the whole row in scanning manner to the detect the unusual progressions. But I don't know if a person with some form of colorblindness is able to use that technique.
- bigmattystyles 5y agoWell I can't see anything further than 1 foot in front of me but color wise, I'm perfect.
- moralestapia 5y agoThis test measures a different thing, namely, how far can you make it through the crappy UI they implemented.
- d136o 5y agoYour comment is knee jerk funny, but not generally helpful. I thought the test was fun to do, even on a mobile touch screen. Vertical drag and drop from mobile did seem to mess with it but I simply dropped and reset the piece.
- jacquesm 5y agoIt worked perfect for me.
- ipsin 5y agoIt did take me a little while to work out that the left and right edges were pinned, and my drag-and-drop didn't do what I intended more than once. But... then you're being tested (unintentionally) on the ability to discern that too, I guess?
- mrjin 5y agoThat's exactly what I wanted to say. I could hardly move the squares to where I wanted...
- hammyhavoc 5y agoI didn't even start. Looked too much like I should have been a paid test subject.
- mikotodomo 5y agoThis is too hard for me. Just moving one color took me 3 minutes.
- jiggawatts 5y agoThis is mostly testing the quality of your monitor. I got a nearly perfect score, but on an AdobeRGB wide gamut monitor. Similarly, an OLED phone screen makes this easy.
- acjohnson55 5y agoI got a 36. But I've known for 25 years that I'm colorblind. In some of these tests, if I really stare, I can improve my results slightly. But I definitely have poor ability to discriminate those shades. On the other hand, last I checked, about 15 years ago, I had better than perfect acuity (I think I've lost some of that, though). Ya win some, ya lose some.
- simonjgreen 5y agoI scored a 0. I also have independently and multiply diagnosed protonomaly. So I wouldn't read too much in to the results of this "test".
- Ryder123 5y agoSame here. I'm hilariously colorblind, and I scored a 4.
- w7 5y ago3rd-ing this. I have daily issues with red/green and blue/purple. Also scored a 4.
- graderjs 5y agoThis is not unusual. Perhaps the difficulties of you and the other ancestor commenters in discriminating colors (and other visual phenomena), have made you compensate by becoming better at these tasks than average (and better than the test expects you to be), maybe by recognizing and amplifying other visual cues. There's plenty of examples of people respond to adversity/different-ability level in a domain by deliberately developing super competence. Childhood asthma sufferers who became competition swimmers, is one.

- colechristensen 5y agoWhat screen did you take the test on?
- simonjgreen 5y agoGoogle Pixel 6
- fn-mote 5y agoNote for those who have not read the article (this was confusing to me): 0 is the highest possible score. Just saying "done" from the starting configuration got me a 66 (so that's a score showing you don't see any differences).
- vehemenz 5y agoExcept for genuine colorblindness, all this test really measures is how good your screen is. On my iMac this was trivially easy. If you don't get a 0, then you have a clear deficiency. I think the scale is bogus.
- barrkel 5y agoWithout a calibrated screen this isn't worth much beyond entertainment value.
- deleted 5y ago[deleted]
- jy14898 5y agoI got 0 on a 9 year old 144hz TN panel... as others said the hardest part was trying to use the interface itself
- IWantToRelocate 5y agodid the real physical thing/test 10 years ago to work with autoparts coating. really cool!
- cobertos 5y agoStarted on an older monitor, moved it to my newer one and found it easier. Was able to score a 0. Too many variables to be taking this test on non-controlled equipment
- DevoidSimo 5y agoAlso a tip, if you're taking this at night time and use flux/night light, turn that off before you start.
- kingcharles 5y agoThere is nothing wrong with my eyes, and everything wrong with my monitor.
- marcodiego 5y agoMy score was 0 on the first attempt. I can't understand how a score of 16 in such test can be considered normal.
- derekmcloughlin 5y agoReminds me of Blendoku https://youtu.be/DGVo26co7N4 https://youtu.be/DGVo26co7N4
