Thank you, SunnyBlue. That's a lovely idea.


Take the Test: How Well Do You See Color?

Hi, Travelingrae,

I didn't think to time myself, but I did it about as fast as I could move the squares, with a little additional time to transpose ones that seemed close just to make sure I had them in the right order. Switching ones that were close validated most of my original sequence.

Hi, Sunnyblue,
I am also a woman, 65 years old, just now retired from a lifetime of teaching--hooray! Like you, I love to sew; during my working life, I tailored my own suits. Don't know what I will sew now except dance skirts and dresses. :-)

The test measures only hue discrimination; there are other color scales, like gray scale and saturation scale--and probably others that I don't know about. I've never studied art, but I spend a lot of time trying to match fabrics!

It took me about a minute per row, and I scored 0. It seemed very obvious, and I doubted that the test was for real until my daughter, who sent me the link to the test, directed me to this page. She also scored 0, though she said it took her awhile to do it. I find it intriguing that it isn't obvious to everyone since with few exceptions, it was instantly visible when a color was out of sequence.
