All;
You can hit the back button and tweak it as many times as you like in FIREFOX.
If you are using an LCD monitor or a laptop screen, the results will be worse off than if the test had been done with a CRT monitor. CRT “tube” monitors can show variations in color at a far more precise level than LCDs ever will.
Without everyone taking the test on a calibrated monitor this test is just entertainment.
Most LCD monitors are not too good at representing subtle color variations properly.
finally got a perfect score starting from about 98.
Took a lot of dinking.
I think the monitor must make a significant difference.
I wonder if it’s somewhat related to variations in the phosphor coating materials.
Interesting exercise, for sure.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. I can readily believe that.
Thanks.
Gave up CRT’s long ago.
That’s what I thought.
Some variations seemed inexplicable . . . like they almost didn’t fit in the sequence somehow.
Scored a 7.
Most common color blindness in males is red/green.
I suggest that your monitor's contrast and brightness controls be turned up fully, first, as I did. If you have auto-darkening Transitions® lenses, removing them may help.
I got a 0 - that’s reassuring since I’ve started oil painting and hope I’m seeing what everybody else is seeing. : )
Above on a CRT monitor.
0! Woo-hoo!
I got a 3. I’m astonished.
I had a business partner once (in the printing industry no less), who was red-green colorblind. I found out on a project for an apparel manufacturer, whose primary product had red packaging. It was printed green, due to color separations being misplated on press, and he had no clue. Expensive lesson.
Found out he had to memorize the position of red and green on traffic signals, too ... sort of scary.
I’ve never heard of white/green colorblindness, myself.
They could call it the “Whose Monitor is Better?” Quiz.
Thanks for the reminder, I thought of the battle at first sight, also.
>>I knocked it out pretty fast but it never gave me a score - - just a big blank white page.
That was the last part of the test — You failed the white/black contrast test ;)
I am young enough to be in the 50 to 59 age range. But I guess scoring 0 on this test means my eyes are younger than I am.
