If you’re a photographer or retoucher, perhaps you perceive color better than an average human. But is it really the case? The UK-based vision care company Lenstore has created a test that lets you check your color perception. It’s super-fun but pretty difficult, so the results may surprise you.
The test is creatively named Colour is in the eye of the beholder. And this is pretty accurate, considering that several factors affect how we see colors. First of all, it’s our age and gender. I believe you’ve seen tons of memes showing the difference between guys and girls and their perception of color. Then there’s the factor of language. Some linguistic theories suggest that the language we speak also affects our color perception.
According to the test, most people who took it scored 6 out of 10, and less than 1% of people got the perfect score. You can take it below or via this link. And after you’re done, let us know your score.
I scored 9 out of 10. According to the test makers, it’s higher than 98% of people who took it. What was your score? Let us know in the survey and in the comments below.

Me too, but the last one I was just guessing.
9
6 points – good start ?
I would have completed it but the drag and drop just kept scrolling
Got a 4, might have something to do with my monitor…might just be my brain.
6 out of 10 but then I am red/green colour blind
7/10
9/10
9 of 10. I have a calibrated monitor.
How many have a good screen?
8 :(
I watched on mobile, need to check on pc
This is pretty subjective as different displays are going to effect what people see. 9/10 but not going to lie, on this cheap monitor several were guesses from the gut.
7/10 :-)
10/10 although the last one nearly stumped me.
10/10, but I’d be interested to know what percentage of people are attempting this on un-calibrated displays or TN panels that can’t fully reproduce the sRGB gamut.
If most people score around 6/10, it makes me wonder if all the fuss about monitor calibration is as critical as we have been led to believe.
8, but probably only because I’ve been playing I ❤️ Hue lately lol
7/10
10/10, playing on an LG ThinQ8.
9/10 on my crappy laptop.
“You scored 9 out of 10
Well done! You scored higher than 98% of people who played this game!”
7/10, I guess that’s the average score.
9/10 I died on yellow :/
7/10 with red/green colour blindness
