p.8 #1 · What's Your Color Accuracy?


Scored 0 with a five year old, mediocre, best-guess-calibrated Viewsonic VG191b.

I guess the old peepers still have a bit of that sniper-vision left in them!

39 but my laptop sucks which is why I shoot raw, I've never got around to calibrate and,
I didn't buy my laptop to do critical photography work, just to surf the net.

I have red-green colour weakness (not blind) and have trouble discerning pastel colours and very dark colours, so I won't bother embarassing myself.


Same for me.
cant do those colour dots with the number in them at all.
Its almost like colour dyslexia as I can see both Red and Green very well but put something red on a green background and unless I know where it is I just dont see it.
Cant play golf with an Orange ball as I would step on the ball before seeing it. same for fishing with an orange tipped float.

I had a 4 score. Did the test a bit fast, maybe when i take time i can get a lower score.

Nice test!

I scored 3 on a decade-old Philips/Dell LCD. It will be interesting to see if I can distinguish hues better on my Apple Cinema. A good CRT might make this test easy, but I don't have one to try.

Yeah those colour dot tests are tough. Certain colour combos I can see clearly, others I can't see any number. I see red and green perfectly too individually. Also if you show me say a very dark blue car and a very dark green car, it takes me a long time to pick which is which and similar with pale pastels.

Hey fellow Canon friends, just thought I'd share this link :

Test your color IQ

For how much we stress on working in the right color space, and being calibrated, this is just a check to see if you're calibrated too, .

Cheers,
Thomas (Scored 0 the first try, but I took a few minutes)



Well, I got a perfect, but man was that a tedious, annoying test. Thanks for nothing!

Perfect score of 0 on my Debranded HP w2408h 24" Monitor, uncalibrated. Does Windows 7 really make a difference? Or my 28 year-old-eyes? Wow.

Yuck! I got a 38. Well, that's better than average for a 50-something male, but I should have tried a little harder.

I'm sitting in my truck in a poorly lit parking lot using my uncalibrated Compaq laptop in Power Save mode, and I only spent 5 minutes on the test, so that might have something to do with it.
