      here's a simulation of how a normal person see's a sunflower, and the 2nd photo is how a tetrachromat see's the same flower

      Don't know if its me, but I got bored with the first test, so I gave up, the 2nd one seems to be a complete waste of time as there are a lot of folk who say it will not work even if you are a Tetrachromat because the picture is a jpg on a screen, it needs to be printed onto paper for it to work.

        I had a go and got 142. I am 63 + on a small laptop screen, so not surprised.
        I saw the bit at the bottom that says you can compare with similar age groups.
        That didn't work so, presumably you have to log in all your data - probably pay something as well - to be able to compare, and open yourself to Optical related electronic bombardment.

        Loved the first one Dim,really loved it. I scored 44, so, out of the range:
        Worst = 1520
        Best = 0,
        I am quite chuffed ,

        I got 65 using my right eye, and couldn't be bothered fighting with my left one to compare (my left eye is somewhat droopy, and squint, following illness about twelve or so years ago, however it appears to be better with colour than my right eye).

          This is why when choosing colours and decorating the woman should always choose the colour!

            I got 3. Not quite as good as it sounds because colour differentiation was part of my job.

                  Amongst other things, I spent 30 years teaching how to spot the finer distinctions between colour tones for colouring hair. Admittedly, we rarely did much in the green range :heehee: but it's the same principle.


                  I may have been a hairdresser but last time I looked at my photo on "Faces to names" I was still a bloke :lunapic 130165696578242 5:
