this is called the Munsell Test, i had to take it while i was in college as a good 1/6 of major was 'color science'. i scored a 16, men generally score lower as they age due to our blue cones 'wearing out'.
- I can see from the average that women score slightly better. But I wonder how many women took the test.Jaline
- yes women generally score better.studderine
- their red and green cones degrade..whoops!studderine

taking the test in person is probably more accurate.

interesting enough, my color science professor helped develop one of the first color copiers at kodak. i recall him telling us that kodak tested their color scientists quite often using the Munsell Test. after a certain age he was no longer allowed to work on some projects because his eyes wore out with age. he had a deficiency in the 'blue' area..as like i said...men tend to as they age.

Why girls 'really do prefer pink'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/healt…
A little girl's love of all things pink may not be entirely due to marketing by clothes and toy firms say researchers.- hmm...I find myself more into red as I grow older. But I have always been indifferent to pink. Usually don't like it.Jaline

i know a 50+ year old photographer who's losing his deep blue vision - should be interesting to see how well he does.
