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.

Not a very good score, sad 39

I thought I had done better than 20 hmm

4! I really enjoyed doing that. I shall have to try it out on a couple of artist friends. I'm convinced that one of them's unusual colour choices are what makes her work so special. I think she is colour blind!

Won't work on my iPad.

Fascinating! Thank you Jane 10
I got 4.
I always knew I was better at distinguishing colour than MrA wink

iPad won't cooperate sad

Eloethan Fri 30-Jan-15 14:05:08

Would love to do this but the hudl won't cooperate.

mollie65 Fri 30-Jan-15 14:20:42

scored 69 sad must be my monitor!

Jane10 Fri 30-Jan-15 14:22:02

I got 15 first time but compulsively keep trying to reduce my score! I do it while waiting on the phone when I`m told "Your call is important to us please hold on"!
I did hear that its possible to score 15,000 but that's pretty odd eyesight I reckon.

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

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

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.

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

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 scored 10, I'm happy with that.

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

Scored 15. It was interesting!

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

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

(the single tiles, I mean)

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 19:26:39

So why is the single one there??

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.
