Color Acuity Test

Instead of working on my very important project, I wandered down internet lane in discovery of more information about the eyes' rods and cones. I wanted to leave a pithy comment on Andrew Finnie's post regarding this subject, but instead, lost myself in a hue test at xrite.com

I'm happy to report that from the range 0 being perfect color acuity to 99 being pretty low...I got a whopping 7! Apparently, I have a minor deficiency in the aqua range...which if funny, because aqua is my favorite color. I love what I don't know, apparently.

Take the test and feel those rods vibrate!

Aha Stacia :) well I'm off to have the test now :) Thankyou for that link. I think my chances of a seven are pretty minimal, I see black and white pretty good though :)

How is the writing going?
Actually Mach bands are pretty interesting for artists.

The colours in that colour test make good colour chords/

I've mailed my manuscript to the grant committee, to an agent, and to the conference consultation committee.

While that's cooking, I'm going to work on my portfolio.

I took this test again, six years later, and scored a two, zero being perfect. Whoot! Getting better with age :) Or is it my laptop screen? Who knows. Still a problem in the aqua range, though.
