Hue recognition test

PixelTrawler

Not directly photography related, but just colour perception.

Im sure we've all spent ages getting our photos looking just right post processing. But how good are your eyes?

Came across this little test online - not easy and my eyes are warped after!
Some of you might enjoy this one.

You have to arrange the 4 lines into gradients. I found it very difficult at the end.

To start the ball rolling I got 8

4sb

I saw this via the online photographer a few days ago. I got a 0 and am still pretty pleased with myself. I have a Dell 2007WFP LCD monitor, calibrated - so I think that helped. It does take a while, and gets very tiring toward the end.

Am male, 50.

0, wow! Im on a dell laptop, no monitor calibrator and I cant really tune it the way I want it. Still 0, nice going

What calibrator do you use? I really need to get one.

11 - on an uncalibrated LCD of unknown brand under very iffy warm CFL tubes.

Interestingly the errors showed up in three distinct groups, left, mid and right.

Am I testing my monitor or my eyes?

I asked myself the same question...

luckily I didn't have to name the colours, girls will have a serious advantage at naming other than the standard colours
