The bule/green area was my trouble spot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-hue-test#post-1827179 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 13:58:00 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1827179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>La Belle, naming colors is a whole different thing. My son and I can go on for days about the demarcations you mentioned. I was surprised to learn that the Somali word for blue is...blue! (Or maybe blook or blewk--same pronounciation with a K at the end). None of my friends could tell me anything about what that color was called before that word entered the language. I'd never thought about colors (as opposed to color preference) as a cultural thing before, so this blew my mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-hue-test#post-1827171 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 13:46:58 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1827171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was really interesting, thank you for posting it! &nbsp; I got a zero (perfect score) - but that didn't surprise me, because I 'rechecked' my work, by rearranging the tiles to see if there was a difference, whenever I wasn't sure.&nbsp;</p> <p>If there were a test where you had to differentiate between royal purple and royal blue, and between that fiery orange color, vs. red.... that's where I would fail. &nbsp;I always see purple, where others see blue, and I always see coral red, where others see orange. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-hue-test#post-1827154 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 13:13:45 +0000 Lisa 1827154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was really neat, thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-hue-test#post-1827145 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 12:33:56 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1827145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually get perfect scores on these, and generally have a good memory for colors. That doesn't mean I understand how color works, for example in the filters and settings in photo apps. There are a few instances where I can't remember color correctly, and consistently pick the same wrong color. It happens very rarely--usually I'm the one who can nail the paint chip on the first try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-hue-test#post-1826963 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 00:18:45 +0000 Anonymous 1826963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smittie, I'm a pianist and have perfect pitch. Can that possibly be related to color? They're both in the arts category, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-hue-test#post-1826950 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 23:21:36 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1826950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Somewhat unrelated, have you seen the Pantone app that you can use to find the Pantone name for any color you take a photo of? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-hue-test#post-1826923 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 22:17:44 +0000 tulle 1826923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not so surprising that a lot of YLFers do well on color awareness tests, I guess.&nbsp; I, too, had a perfect score on the one I took. Color is catnip for me--I love to pick out paints and fabrics, and when I shop, I can always exactly match an item to one I left at home.&nbsp; Color memory, they call it.&nbsp; Clearly, you have it, too, J'aileen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-hue-test#post-1826916 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 22:01:37 +0000 Vix 1826916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did the longer one Diana linked to a while ago and got a perfect score.

It was interesting and fun, too.</p> <p>I did it twice, once yesterday, and once today. Yesterday, I was outside with my ipad and got 4. Today I was inside and got 0. </p> <p>When I was a kid, my mother and I were at the paint store and she wanted to buy more of the color in our living room, a bluish green. They couldn't find our card right away (this was before computers). I went over to the samples and pulled one. I told my mother, this is it. When they found our card, I had picked the right one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-hue-test#post-1826529 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 09:43:26 +0000 Sisi 1826529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How interesting is this?! I didn't even know a color test exists. I got 10. This means I am slightly color-blind? Very interesting!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-hue-test#post-1826518 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 08:42:42 +0000 rachylou 1826518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack. I took a different test, and I'm sure I'd flunk this one! I really never thought I was so bad. I took art! I did the colour wheel! </p> <p>I do know this: I'm far pickier about paint than clothes, but I can make paint colours and not clothes colours. Also, I don't fiddle with my TV screen colour, but my brother does. I wonder if I'd have a better score with cards as opposed to an illuminated screen... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-hue-test#post-1826514 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 08:18:48 +0000 Gigi 1826514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni NZ, yes, my eyes got really tired on Diana's version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-hue-test#post-1826489 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 05:03:50 +0000 Jenni NZ 1826489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't get perfect!

X-Rite/Colormunki is one of the big names in color management, and their tools are used by photographers to calibrate monitors for color accuracy (I use a competitor's tool, but only because it was a better deal on Amazon at the time I was looking). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-hue-test#post-1826242 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 21:31:21 +0000 Staysfit 1826242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I also had a perfect score! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-hue-test#post-1826241 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 21:28:40 +0000 Diana 1826241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually, this is the version I took, which is bigger and more difficult.&nbsp; </p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.colormunki.com/game/huetest_kiosk">http://www.colormunki.com/game/huetest_kiosk</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-hue-test#post-1826239 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 21:26:05 +0000 Anonymous 1826239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also got a 0 and now I'm suspicious that this is a fake test. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-hue-test#post-1826235 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 21:18:41 +0000 Anonymous 1826235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I aced that test, too, and practically everyone on this forum knows I'm obsessed with color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-hue-test#post-1826234 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 21:17:59 +0000 Diana 1826234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also got a perfect score on this test (although I took it quite a while ago - I don't have time to retake it right now) and I am super particular about colors, so I think you are probably on to something.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-hue-test#post-1826229 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 21:10:57 +0000 Gigi 1826229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coral-vs-watermelon-red---no-makeup">recent thread</a>, rachylou mentioned a color hue test to test your ability to differentiate colors. I found one online (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.xrite.com/hue-test">http://www.xrite.com/hue-test</a>)&nbsp;and took it and got a perfect score (yay!).</p> <p>I do find that I am very particular about finding just the right shade of a color when I shop, or having just the right shade of a color to match with other pieces in an ensemble. It made me wonder whether this pickiness has to do with my having good color vision. </p> <p>On the test, I did struggle a bit with the first section (salmon to olive), and I do find IRL that I have a harder time differentiating between blushes.</p> <p>Do you find that you are very particular about colors and having just the right shade? If so, do you test well on a color vision test, like I linked to above? </p>
