FACT: 1 out of 255 women and 1 out of 12 men have some form of color vision deficiency.

Take the online color challenge, based on the official FM100 Hue Test by X-Rite.

That test was BRUTAL! I ended up scoring a 7. Anyone else take the test?

What did you score?

I always knew I wasn’t a color guy, and now I have proof.

I got a 16 while using a fairly large, color calibrated monitor.

After looking over and over, my eyes started to weird out. Finally had to make a decision and just did it.

The longer i looked the harder it was to tell the shading apart

After i get new glasses in the near future I'll find out if that makes a difference, but i've never been good a matching colors or evidently lining up the closest shades.

Not sure if this is meaningful - something that can reveal a problem - compared to something that works to reveal color based deficiencies in the same manner of a musical pitch test. Some are really good while others not so much.
