Hue and cry?!

At our recent Burns Lunch at Elegrans, we were admiring her crochet wall hanging of many interlocking squares in graduated hues. I was reminded of this online test: www.xrite.com/online-color-test-challenge
In it you have to grade coloured squares very gradually so the colours merge and alter to completely different ones. I`m not explaining it very well I`m afraid. Try it and see though.

It must be out of mine already - I could have sworn I only did three rows. Oops. Maybe we need a memory test and not a colour one!

Ana Fri 30-Jan-15 20:59:52

I think I'm going to blank this thread out of my memory...grin

Marelli Fri 30-Jan-15 20:40:47

Oops - it WAS 4 rows (bad memory) grin!

iPad won't do it

Lona Fri 30-Jan-15 20:22:29

I got 15, bit disappointed really.

Your score: 0
Gender: Male
Age range: Above 70
Best score for your gender and age range: 0
Highest score for your gender and age range: 1520

Found this quite easy, probably due to being a photographer and conscious of changes in hue.

I had three rows too - but I got 4 so surely I can't have missed a row out? confused

Maybe I shall have another look another day.

(that x underneath should be under the first little x of the row - it moved when I posted!)

Ana Fri 30-Jan-15 19:49:14

I see four rows of different-hued tiles, the end two fixed, 19 in between.

Under each of the rows, there's a single coloured tile.

I wonder why you're only seeing three rows, Marelli... even moreconfused

Any tile you move around, Ana, you put it back somewhere in the same row that you got it from.

soontobe Fri 30-Jan-15 19:38:21

3? shock

No wonder I was useless.
I had more to do! smile

Marelli Fri 30-Jan-15 19:35:47

On my laptop screen there were 3 rows of colour, Ana. There were instructions to drag the colour squares to put them in order of hue. Are you getting the same? I don't know what you mean by the single tiles confused?

Elegran Fri 30-Jan-15 19:35:42

Maybe it is the end fixed one from the row above but your screen is not wide enough for it?

I don't get an extra one.

soontobe Fri 30-Jan-15 19:35:40

You have 4 rows?

You move tiles around in their own rows.
The one at each end is fixed.
You move tiles around within its own row.

Ana Fri 30-Jan-15 19:26:39

So why is the single one there??

Marelli Fri 30-Jan-15 19:23:03

Don't try moving it to the row above, Ana. Just go row by row.

Ana Fri 30-Jan-15 19:13:31

(the single tiles, I mean)

Ana Fri 30-Jan-15 19:13:05

Can someone please tell me what the significance of the tiles under the main rows is? Why are they there? Are you supposed to do something with them or just ignore them? confused

Marelli Fri 30-Jan-15 19:10:44

Scored 15. It was interesting!

shysal Fri 30-Jan-15 16:42:20

I scored 10, I'm happy with that.

crun Fri 30-Jan-15 15:26:22

I got zero, but perhaps that's not a surprise, you don't get a job as an electronics engineer if you're colour blind. I don't know how good your score on this test needs to be in order to pass an ordinary Ishihara colour blindness test.

I found it was easier if you get a row nearly right and then go back again after you've done one of the others. The errors seem obvious after you've looked away for a while.

I'm amazed to have scored 16 as I always think that I'm not very good at distinguishing colours. I did the bit at the end where it compares me to others of my age and gender and I came out quite well. feel quite chuffed with myself. grin
#easily pleased

soontobe Fri 30-Jan-15 14:53:59

42.
That is not good is it?
I thought I was doing relatively well blush

I do knwo I have a bit of a problem with some grey cars looking the same as the tarmac, so I dont see them as fast as I should. I now double look if the car is grey.

mollie65 Fri 30-Jan-15 14:44:03

tried again and did not concentrate in case I was trying too hard
score of 82 - must have a definite colour deficiency
have had run-ins with members of my family about the colour of things and my son confuses dark blue and black so it is probably in the genes or because I am left-handed grin

Ana Fri 30-Jan-15 14:35:03

I'm not sure I'm doing it right - why is the tile under the row there? What's it for? If I move it to the row above it keeps coming back...confused
