TEST YOUR COLOR VISION AND COLOR PERCEPTION
Are you among the 1 in 255 women and 1 in 12 men who have some form of color vision deficiency and don't know it? Everyone perceives color differently. That's why it is important for anyone involved with the evaluation or specification of color to understand how accurately they actually see color.
The FARNSWORTH-MUNSELL 100 HUE TEST is an easy-to-take test and a highly effective method for evaluating one's ability to discern color. As a global standard in the design industry for more than 60 years, the test evaluates and ranks color acuity. It consists of four trays containing a total of 85 removable color reference caps (incremental hue variations) spanning the visible spectrum. COLOR VISION APTITUDE is detected by the ability of the test subject to place the color caps in order of hue. If you would like to take the test, learn your color acuity, and better communicate with co-workers and clients contact Geri at geri@ideasonly.net for details.
