Cool Pantone test – thanks for sharing it! I got a 4. Maybe staring at spreadsheets all day hasn’t fried my cones after all. I still can’t match a tie to a shirt though.
Thanks for collecting and posting these links. You always find interesting posts that I missed and bloggers I haven’t yet read.
I earned a 10 on the color test. Not bad for low light.
Thank you for the link love! 🙂
I got a 14 on the color test. Fun!
I got a 4. Fun test for people who love color.
I got a 3! As an art student I guess I should be good. My fiancé is colorblind an got 106!
I got a 7 on the color test. That post on my blog has seen lots of traffic, and the results are interesting to hear about. Thanks for the link!
Did the link for the Pantone quiz come from your site? I couldn’t remember where I found it!
Yeah, it could have. No big deal. I didn’t invent it or anything. I found it in the Reddit sub for fountain pens. I’m glad it’s getting around, though.
I got 0 (perfect colour vision) on the Pantone test! I did this a few years ago and got the same result, so good to know I haven’t changed! I have terrible eyesight and have to wear glasses all the time so good to know my eyes are good for something…
I got perfect color vision, too, but it may have been because I like to play Blendoku…

Perfect score of zero! You would think I would be better at colour correcting my photos but now I might go down a rabbit hole of relative vs absolute colour perception… It is at least vaguely related to the work I am meant to be doing.
I got a 4. Fun test for people who love color.
When I saw my score, I thought, “It’s not possible.” Then I saw that the perfect score is zero.
I got a perfect zero, showing once again my love for color.
