FM 100 Hue Test

100 Hue Color Test

Something interesting to try out. Things like the monitor you're using and room lighting can play a factor but this is mostly in your ability to differentiate between color hues.

I just took the test and scored a 3 with 0 being a perfect score. For comparison I just opened up the test again and just hit "Score Test" without moving a thing and it came up with 987.

So... how does everybody do?

Tah-dah.

Would be interesting to do this again on a color calibrated crt

23 on a completely uncalibrated monitor, and its early saturday morning and i'm not fully open eyed lol

Single try in a hurry: 12, very good for age range

Scored a 6 on a so-so 17" LG (about 2 years old, maybe more). I'm in the 20-29 range. Took ~4 minutes. I messed up in about the same range as you did Claymonkey.

I have protanopia (albeit mildly) so wasn't too upset with a 72 on a DELL 2407WFP. There were two clear spikes right where you'd expect them.

I used to work in colour vision research when on a student placement. I could never have had a permanent job in that department though as perfect colour vision was a requirement. It was my programming and experimental skills they wanted.

I did that test then (known iirc as the Munsell 100 hues colour test) with 100 pots of paint.

I had to do it again this morning... The blue green area was still tricky, lots of swatch swapping but I managed to get a perfect score again.

I'm not terribly surprised that everyone on this site is doing so well at this thought. We all got into this do to Matrox hardware and their color accuracy. Though that just kept me with Matrox after getting sucked in due to dualhead.

Perfect score, 30-39 range. Monitor is a Viewsonic E90fB CRT with the R,G, and B gamma calibrated by eye using gamma charts, with the monitor white-point set to (gasp) 9300K. The room is dimly lit by one CFL on the table to the right of the monitor.

8 on a Samsung 226BW. Which surprised the hell out of me, because I've always considered myself bad with color hues. It's thos transitional colors that nailed me. Green to blue and purple to red.

Tried again twice and got perfect twice. My technique was to do a quick and dirty sort, then go left to right swapping pairs of chips, which makes the slight differences in hue more visible as you alternate them back and forth. The colors aren't very uniform, with varying intensity and saturation and uneven steps of hue, which doesn't help. The attachment shows their colors vs. one I made with the same average intensity and saturation in the IPT color space.

Gave up on a MacBook. It has an awful screen. My Samsung 226BW isn't much better, color-accuracy-wise, and it's also not currently at this desk.

8, on a Dell 2408WFP (uncalibrated) in a poorly lit room (window behind monitor!).
Errors were localised in two groups in the middle (green).

I followed Jon's method (hadn't read it beforehand).

This cheap Hannspree 22" widescreen from Bestbuy is actually a pretty good monitor, so far. It doesn't have a proper color temp setting, just "warm," "cool," "indoor," and "outdoor." Alternatively I can set the RGB percentages. For some reason I have G & B set to 100, and the R set to 98.

On my HP laptop with 17" widescreen, I scored 7.
