Test your hue detection abilities

September 18, 2008

This is a neat little online quiz that tests your ability to differentiate subtle differences between gradations in color. If you're a designer this should especially interest you.

Try it out (made by X-Rite)

About the author

Hi readers!
I'm a Graphic Designer in New York City (Brooklyn!). NY is a hub for design and my posts will try to focus on, but will not be limited to, design related things happening in NY, such as museum exhibits, architecture, events, local artist interviews, galleries, etc. I'm very much into technology and art and how they intersect to make multimedia art installations. Hope you enjoy my posts!

Thanks everyone for posting your scores!

Kelly09/18/2008

Got a 4 - the blue to violet segment was my weak spot. I had to keep closing my eyes and looking away from the screen, though - that's a tough one on the eyes!

Duda09/18/2008

13 here! almost color blind.

Paul Johns09/18/2008

I scored an 8. I actually thought I'd do worse. I'm not very good with colors.

I messed up most with the blue range, and blue is one of my favorite colors. Coincidence or conspiracy? You decide.

Anonymous09/21/2008

That doesn't have anything with your ART classes. Oh gosh, how some people are stupid. I never been to an art class in my life and I got a zero. So if you think your art classes helped you with this, you are moron.

Anonymouse09/21/2008

For all you people blaming your monitor, I've got a nearly 7 year old Dell CRT monitor that's about to give out and I scored a 0 both tries! No excuses!

xD

Stacy09/22/2008

Got a 4 on the first try.

Now I need to blink for a little bit.

WillMorgan09/23/2008

I managed to get 25. Yes, the worst score so far on these comments.. but hey, it's 1am, I'm a little bit intoxicated and I've never taken a proper art class in my life.

Oh, and for people who are complaining about their monitors, it's proven that CRT monitors have more consistent colour calibration than LCDs, despite not being as bright and eye friendly as their LCD counterparts.

Sometimes it helps tilting your monitor down a little bit to increase the contrast. Though it could be classed as cheating...

BogDinamita09/23/2008

i tried it again, and oh my gosh.. 34
