Colour Hue Perception Test

[glend]

Have you taken this colour hue perception test:

Many of us older folks have problems with colour discrimination which can affect what you see through your telescope, including your ability to detect or not see CA. Our eye lenses yellow with age, effectively becoming yellow filters.

44 y.o, score 0.

[RB]

Zero for me too.
Lewis cheated. :lol:
How did you do Glen?

[h0ughy]

0 for me

[glend]

Sadly 18, at 69 yo. However, since I have macular degeneration maybe that is reasonable. It's also why I only image these days.

[SimmoW]

Crap, I failed too, zero yet again! Some folks might say that my Samsung phone screen wasn't properly calibrated, therefore I would have done far worse on a 'superior brand's screen 😂

[Saturnine]

Score 2, which I presume is not too bad for a 67 year old.

[Lognic04]

0 :)

[bojan]

2... at 68 yo this is not bad ?

[garymck]

66 yo score 0

cheers

Tried not to overthink it as was going crazy for a bit there.

At times I had some near guess work!

Colour perception OK, Acuity sucks.

[dpastern]

score 2, age 49 (birthday today lol!). MBP screen has never been colour calibrated, although I've done some general calibrations for gamma/contrast. So, not sure how much of an impact screen may have had on my score, but I suspect not much. My eyesight has been worsening the past 2 years.

[ZeroID]

4, Age 69 with some eye damage, floaters and acuity problems.

[SimmoW]

Oh I didn't put my age! 49 and 10/12th. Rounded down to 39 and 2/25ths!

[RAJAH235]

I'm not doing too bad for my age...
Just don't try this with a green or red LED light.
They're sure to stuff up any colour eye sight tests.

Advertorial soft-selling xrite and Pantone.

There are plenty of proper eye tests online if you want one - and that one isn’t one that optometrists would recognise.

[glend]

Must everything be pulled apart? It was posted as a bit of fun. :shrug:

Obviously anyone suspecting serious vision issues should consult an opthamologist.

[RB]

Spot on Glen.

:thumbsup:

[Atmos]

I’m actuallt surprised that I didn’t do worse as I know I have some colour rendition issues ;)

[Slawomir]

Another ZERO. So I cannot blame my eyesight for colour schemes in my images :lol:

It was a fun activity - thank you Glen :thumbsup:

Colour tests, be it for fun or of a more serious nature, are all good to help us gauge our individual colour perception/degree of colour blindness

It is important to keep one thing in mind about a colour test like this, be it for fun or otherwise, is that under the low illumination conditions that we find ourselves under, our colour perception and sensitivity can change completely from the bright illumination conditions that these tests are carried under, especially considering that our colour perception stops under low light levels and things appear in shades of grey.

Colour sensitivity under low light levels also does change with age too, not to mention that colour perception also depends on gender, age, genetics, and health.

Just eight years ago I could see pinks, greens and blues in M42 including from my home in Sydney. Today, using the same scope, the pinks have disappeared and the greens and blues are not as vivid <sigh...>:sadeyes:

The validity of the results of any such test with regards to typical astro conditions are really meaningless unless the same test is also carried out under the exact same low light levels we encounter, and then the test itself needs to be altered again to provide a new standard under these conditions.

'0' @ 52.

Brian.

[multiweb]

Got a 4 @ 52. Off all colours slightly deficient in the GREENS !!!! Can't win... :shrug:

[dpastern]

well, just re-did it and had less distractions and took my time and scored a 0 this time. mmm. also had my glasses on ;-)

[mental4astro]

I just did the test.

I got a score of -5.

Is that good? :shrug:

[LewisM]

Means you only see in black and white :P

Score 0 octogenerian.

[Kev11]

score 2 at age 74.5. Not bad? Weakest area green.

[clive milne]

Well... I'm RG colour blind and I still managed zero.

[Paul Haese]

Just scored 0 at 54. Not bad.

This test though is not as good as a tonal and colour test done for military service. Those are really hard. I think the last time I did one I missed one of the tonal questions but overall got a 99.9% acuity.

[Paul Haese]

That's probably because they have made the test primarily tonal Clive. If they mixed all the boxes up through all four of the runs you might struggle to get decent score.

[Rick Petrie]

Score 0 Age 71. Happy with that.👍

[marc4darkskies]

Phew! 0 @ 60.

Thank goodness SOMETHING is still working well in my creaky ageing carcass! And no, I won't be doing the "really hard" military service version because .... I'm a civilian! :P
