Default How do you see colors?

I took this test to see how well I "see" colors.
You might be surprised how you do on it....and that might explain some questions you have about why you "like" the colors you do, or why you have trouble picking out colors for your quilts.

I did them all correctly, but, then, I enjoy most the selecting of colors and the use of many values of color in my quilting. Let us know your personal results.

I was colorblind due to cataracts . I had no idea that I was colorblind until I had the eye test at my check-up. I couldn't believe that I couldn't see the numbers that I has always been able to see before. After the surgery on one eye, I couldn't believe the difference. It truly was like a miracle. Now, I'm scheduled for my 2nd eye surgery in early May. Can't wait for the double glorious colors. Especially nice to have it done in the spring!

I wish my seeing vision was as good as my color vision.

I'll have to try it from home; here at work the system has the site blocked as "gaming or gambling", LOL. (That thing is wrong ALL the time)

Missed just one. I was expecting just numbers and when the switch from numbers to letters came up. I missed that one.

I got them all right. I had a color test before and I filter out the light background when looking at any object. I see items as separate from the background. Weird but I can filter the background in too.
