Color Perception Test
This is probably not for the color-blind – FM 100 Hue Test is an online widget/game that lets you test your own color perception and acuity. You are supposed to drag-and-drop the colored boxes so that they line up nicely according to the gradual hue-shift from the left-most box to the right-most box.
I probably didn’t do too well in the green-turquoise region particularly (apparently the lower the score, the better). I assume the score is probably something along the line of ‘total-difference-of-steps-between-input-answer-and-correct-answer’ or something similar).

Very cool test. It would be interesting to see a distribution for the different age/gender categories. I’ve read that females typically do better on color accuracy tests. I was able to get a 4 though–just missed a couple in the 3rd green/blue bar (26, male).
Wow quite a good score you have there~ and after I’ve compared around (some of the comments on forums etc) it does seem like I’m quite a distance from par.
I should say I was very very sleepy in a dark yellow-ish tinted environment. Does that help? Heh.
I think it can make a difference how good your LCD screen is, although the one I used was certainly not very color-accurate (work laptop).
I found it easier to discern the difference between close colors by:
– looking away from the screen, then back
– squinting your eyes
– un-focusing your eyes and moving your head
By doing some of these things, I was able to spot outliers that were difficult to see when I was just staring at the screen.

I definitely just scored a Zero, wish there was more info behind the science of color perception,
i had 24 (25, male) and also had problems with the greens. my girlfriend did 4, with the same monitor/laptop.
i guess a lot of people have problems with green tough.
better get of the computers
its not good for our eyes 
cheers
15 ; )
Zero!!!but the next time – 4
(22, female)
I got 0.
(14, Female)
An average 23 for male, I guess
8, but I think my TFT is not very good
4, and I’m at work with people effing with the monitor settings all the time.
I’ll do this test when I get back home on my color calibrated monitor.

Cool test… Scored 0 ( 43 Male ) with a 10 year old LCD monitor. The final swaps on each of the colour bands was tricky. It helped when de-focussing/squinting. Also, when you think you have the sequence right, systematically go through again swapping adjacent colours over then it’s relatively easy to see if they were in their right place..! ;o)
15 (17, female), very interesting! I had a little trouble with the blues. After looking for a while it seems my eyes played tricks on me and everything started blending together. I love making art, I wonder if that’s a big deal. haha

No numerical score when I was done.
Just got the message: “You have perfect color vision!”
