Everyone! Come in and test your monitor's colour calibration

[Fuchs]

I remember I once draw a night scene of something as a kid, people made fun of me because the sky was dark purple instead of dark blue

Its a good practice to have any color-blind child to label their color pencils with the colors names. Or to make their parents/relatives more tolerant to surrealism.

I see a lot of 'low' scores in this thread, and am jealous!

As someone wrote above I think this test shows more the person's abilities than the monitors... just my opinion.

I am 33, scored 23, on a Fujitsu uncalibrated 12" laptop screen. I have bad eyes in many ways.

I got a 16. They looked 100%! Damn. Did half the test with glasses off and half with CLEAN glasses, which in itself is a relatively rare thing. All my errors were towards the blue-greens. I wonder what my doctor isn't telling me?

"260" - Colorblind. And I really did try! Does this mean I should stop shooting color? 🙁

Ok, try this ...

I went back and took this again and very carefully went over each and every pair of colored squares and reversed any that did not look right. Rinse, repeat, until the whole 4 rows all look perfect.

Score: 0 🙂

Try it that way and see if you can get very close to 0 ... 🙂
