Not wrong, the eyes play tricks on you!

Scored 28, best score for my age range was 0, worst score was 1409, so I'm not unhappy

Just had to have another go, there's jack s**t on TV! Managed a score of 11 this time, I think I'll quit whilst I'm ahead

The test on a video monitor is unlikely to accurately measure someone's colour vision. Unless the monitor has been accurately adjusted beforehand by a person with 100 % colour vision, the representations of the Farnsworth chips will not be authentic. The differences in colour due to variations in the RGB voltages on non-calibrated monitors, plus the uncertainty of the test subject's accuracy in calibrating the monitor would probably cause as many errors as would be expected from some mild form of physical colour blindness. As I remember, the test was a great deal easier using the proper painted colour chips, which have a matt finish and are uniform in colour on a microscopic scale. The video monitor images are difficult to compare critically due to the reflection of the screen, plus the fact that they are made up of pixel dots.

Fun though

I haven't been called that for a while but I'll take it as a compliment. Go the children of the 60's!

8 on my one and only attempt - I'll quit while I'm ahead.

Best for demographic is 0 and worst is 1462.

24 for me.
Not too bad, but it was row 3 that was worst for me.
Not saying a bad workman blames his tools, but I probably should get the spyder out and re-calibrate my laptop screen.
Found myself tilting the screen backwards and forwards to try to compare the colours.

I got 4!

4 for me and 0 to 1429 for my gender age range.

It always good to be at the pointy end of the range for any test!!!
