The boxes on the far left and far right of each line are fixed, and all the others can be moved via drag and drop. The idea is to go from one hue to the next. Think you have a good eye for colour? Take the test and find out! After you've done the test, check out my score after the break and let's see how you did!<MORE /></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1223563101.usr1.jpg" /></p><p>I knew that I had gotten some of the last one wrong - when I was moving them around it seemed not quite right, but I couldn't quite get it looking right.

I scored a perfect. I found it helpful to unfocus your eyes a little, then scan back and forth. That caused a few to jump out that I thought were correct at first.

114 -- I'm 61 and have known I had severe red/green colorblindness since my Draft physical. And yet, I had my own color darkroom between the ages of 24 and 36 (a "very good" darkroom with plenty of satisfied customers).

Blimey - 299! No colour blindness, 6/6 vision and I used to freelance as a theatre lighting technician. Maybe it's my laptop's LCD display, or the drinks I've had tonight. :(
