Hi Guys,

Hope you haven't seen this before, found the link on another forum.

I got 45 on my first attempt. Yet to try a second.

Remember to post your score and be honest now :D :D

Got a 55 :( Lower the score the better!

I tried it on my laptop, and I've been up since 2am (it's now 8am) been out plowing snow all night and just got home.

I want to try it again on my better monitor and see if I can score it better. I thought I had the colors perfect, so I'll give it another try after I get some rest.

That's a cool test though, thanks for posting

I scored a 20 on the first try off the laptop, will be interesting to see how it works with the CRT flatscreen monitor

I guess lower is better

Zero!

Now I can't explain away my wardrobe by saying I'm colorblind.
I'll need another excuse ... clueless, maybe?

54 - I thought I had it, too. This explains why I my wife has to see what I am wearing before she will let me out of the house! Black and Navy Blue might as well be the same color...

Glad you like it, I'll have a second go over the next few days and see how I get on.

I can't believe it, yesterday we bought a new computer and I thought I would give this another try on a newer monitor.

I was impressed that I could see more colours and even more gob smacked when I scored a 7.

Wow I thought guys on the other forum were making up lower scores.

I got a 12 on my dirty uncalibrated laptop screen. I'm not sure how that happened, but I'll take it.
