Also, I'm mildly color blind. I couldn't tell any difference other than the rows themselves.
Thanks for making me feel bad Sneaky

LOL. I got 52. I started to lose interest towards the end though.

8 I noticed I tended to align the chips on a trend from dark to light, which didn't work so well on the tests that spanned several colors, and was hesitant to fix it. ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

I too am an art major now, as I've decided to give up physics and go for photography. I love photography, and I can't take the math anymore.  It's a win-win.------------- "I AM a crossdresser." -Reb Cpl Forum Vice President RIP T&O Forum |

Man, I love photography. Always kind of wanted to do it professionally, but never have had the time to practice.

I'm very mildly colorblind. I'm also very mildly OCD. I spent WAY more time than I'd have liked trying to do the first row, got frustrated to the point of anger, and gave up. Sneaky, you're a jerk. |

pft. It's on a screen... No way representative of the printed sheet, as you can twist your monitor to "cheat" the test. I scored a 7, without spending much time on it...What is cool is to look at a printed sheet with a wet density of 1 point difference. Most people can only see a 4 point shift. A well trained eye can see a 2 point shift. I can see a 1 point shift in certain colors. The hardest color to see on a press sheet is yellow...
The older you get, the harder yellow is to see.
more color tolerance information...
http://qualityinprint.blogspot.com/search/label/Color%20tolerancing - http://qualityinprint.blogspot.com/search/label/Color%20tolerancing
Typical print projects have a tolerance of +/- 3 points which is a 6 point swing... and could drastically influence the color spectrum, especially in pastel areas. The hardest color to match on a cross over (from one side of the sheet to the other side (felt Vs. Wire) in a annual report... Four color gray... a 1 point shift in ANY of the four process colors will shift the color and show the difference.
One of the biggest problems I find with "new" designers is their lack of ability to design for print. Most just know how to make something look good on screen, which is in no way helpful for good design on paper... As paper has no brightness control, and flattens images, as well as the fact that the image is made up of dots...
What you see on a screen is in no way representative of what others see on a screen, as every screen is set up differently with major differences based on the brightness, and contrast of said monitor. Only monitors calibrated to match, and then tested every single day are considered "color accurate"... And then only in the RGB world, instead of the print world of CMYK (which is what the color test is based on, CMYK spot colors).
We do testing like this for our press operators and sales men, as you would be shocked to know how many "printers" have horrible color issues... ------------- They tremble at my name...

I just did the Farnsworth D-15 and Farnsworth-Munsell 100 about a month ago. Key thing about the 100 test is to do it quickly, or spend some time looking at other stuff if it's taking you a while. This applies doubly so if you have even mild color impairment. I had total error scores of 124 and 236 (right eye, left eye). I did the left eye way too slowly, and given my virtually identical results in both eyes on the D-15, it's likely the error score on it should be closer to my right eye's. Basically the testing confirmed what I've suspected all along: mild deuteranopia. ------------- BU Engineering 2012 |
