Are your eyes Colour Calibrated?

[ricktas]

Here is a great test for photographers

The idea is to place each line of colours into sequence. ZERO is a perfect score.

Try it and report back what you scored

Cmon Rick.. What was your first score?? :D

[ricktas]

Cmon Rick.. What was your first score?? :D

zero, first go. Though as well as photography I also paint watercolours and I have a palette of about 80 colours/hues that I work with when painting and they are in sequence, so I probably have a bit of an advantage there. What I did was quickly sort them to their relevant ends and middle. Then I went back and concentrated only on that 1/3rd of the bar and sorted them, then I did the other end, then the middle, for each bar.

Well done!! I am not feeling so bad about my score of 4 then :)

[Greg Johnston]

Excellent exercise. My score was 8.

[Darey]

My first go score was 8. I'm happy with this given I'm 59 years young.
Thank god I have a Spyder calibrated monitor. :)

Never underestimate the power of a good red wine Darey :D

Never underestimate the power of a good red wine Darey :D

Maybe a glass of red first would have helped... scored 4.

[tanz]

14.......but I reckon I can blame that on the laptop :p

[Kym]

Hmmm scored better using my calibrated IPS monitor than the notebook :D

[Duane Pipe]

I recon I was that close on my second attempt But I timed out:action: I give up

[xxdrakexx]

ok :(

[mojododo]

265 :o on very uncalibrated monitor and i know my colour seperation is bad lol.

[Lance B]

I got a 3, so not too bad for an old git.

[Allie]

I had 2 tries and this is what I got 16 first time then 7 - I found it interesting that my score was different on different hues each time.

[fess67]

117 but I know I have a colour deficiency - red / green according to my medicals.

[image2paint]

What an interesting question you pose... "are our eyes colour calibrated"

It kind of makes you laugh to think about how we go through so much trouble to use monitors with abobeRGB or 100%sRGB and calibrate them. BUT everyone sees things differently haha, no 2 people will interpret colours in the same way.

It just got me thinking, very thought provoking QU, good one.

I got a 4, but on my laptop. Will try again later on my 100% sRGB monitor later hehe

7-251

Well mine did look a lot like it at 120 there were plenty of skyscrapers.

[DonUnder]

Scored 4 on my rubbish Lenovo monitor at work. I'll give this another try an my rMBP display when I get home.

[Cage]

Guess my old eyes aren't as bad as I thought.

[michaellxv]

Score 16
When I look at this spectrum it does not appear smooth to me. Some bars just stand out and look out of place. My uncalibrated eyes or my uncalibrated monitor?

[teylward]

I think I took around 3-5mins and got Zero. I'm happy with that. hehe

[ktoopi]

[davidd]

I got 7 - not bad for 66 years old! :cool:

[Congo]

scored a 12 for me.

[nimrodisease]

I scored 11 on an uncalibrated work monitor.. it almost ruined my eyes though!

[ROA44]

Well I just tried it got a score of 2 first time and only took a minute or 2 age 58 - 62. So better than eye would have thought.

PS that's without glasses

[steve2509]

I scored 11 on an uncalibrated work monitor......my eyes want a little sleep now:)

[farmmax]

I got a 0 first go :eek: , but I have done this test a couple of years ago. I think I got a 0 that time as well. My technique is very like Ricks. For a final check I took my glasses off so everything was blurry. That helped. I spend a lot of time in front of a computer and handling colour, so that probably helps.

[aussie girl]

First time 16 - second go, score of 7. I don't think there will be a third attempt. My poor eyes are still hurting:crzy::action003:

not bad for a 52 year old with one eye less efficient than the other :)

[horizon]

Well I got a 3 on first attempt, but I saw my mistake as I pressed the submit button and did it again and got a zero on the second try. On my notebook that is calibrated, havent tried it on my calibrated desktop monitor.
