| 1115695 | 2010-07-04 22:43:00 | I passed it :D glad I'm not colourblind! | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
| 1115696 | 2010-07-04 22:57:00 | 0 Yay!!! The brain may be fuzzy, the vision is blurred, and I can no longer hear fleas fart, but as an ex CTV tech I've always thought my colour perception was at least OK. Now I can once more go forth in confidence and argue colours with Mrs T, before giving in graciously of course. Cheers Billy 8-{) :clap No probs with the second test either. Must try Mrs T on these :devil: |

| 1115697 | 2010-07-05 00:34:00 | Try this then: colorvisiontesting.com My son would fail most of them. He doesn't care any more, he worked at a place once where he needed to know the product colour - he cheated and looked at the labels. I failed them all! Hurrah! |

| 1115698 | 2010-07-05 01:01:00 | Hmmm. . .interesting - I'd like to know what kind of monitors those that scored highly used; I did this yesterday on my Thinkpad (15" screen) and got 24. Did it just now at work on my 19" HP monitor in probably half the time, and got 8. |

When I did the colour matching we had to use daylight, bright daylight. If it was a gloomy day, we had to check again next fine day. If you did in inside with indoor lighting it would skew it too. I had a car touched up once, looked fine when I picked it up, until I got home and saw it in sunlight and it was ever so slightly off. Lighting makes a lot of difference. |

Lighting makes a lot of difference. Yes daylight is best for colour matching, but it is very inconvenient having the machines placed outside:lol: It also can be very inconsistent with cloud and completely useless at night. At work we use overhead lights that are covered from main lights which are the same day and night. Anyway I scored 12, and I know I'm not coloured blind. I get tested every 2 years for work. Women should do better then men on this test. |

| 1115702 | 2010-07-06 20:25:00 | 8... and I've done these before during my training. Cranking up the brilliance and contrast settings might help make some of the discriminations easier. A colourblind person will show a very high score with distinct peaks in the resultant graph, which reflects the colours their eyes confuse, depending on whether they are protanopic (red/green errors) or deuteranopic (purple/green / purple/blue errors) |

| 1115703 | 2010-07-07 03:45:00 | Cranking up the brilliance and contrast settings might help make some of the discriminations easier. Works for some, but others find a reduction in brightness better; they are easier able to distinguish the slight luminance differences between hues. When setting up CTVs I always set the colour balance by eye, but in subdued light. Results on the current test may differ slightly for some individuals according to the type of lighting they are viewing under. Incandescent halogen, incandescent normal filament, fluorescent and daylight will all favour different parts of the chart. I turned off my office lights and reduced the contrast slightly. It may or may not have made a significant difference this time, but who knows? Cheers Billy 8-{) |
