Help - a Colourful problem

TheMightyZog

I've been playing around with colour and find I can not see the difference
between these shades of red and green.

I would like to know if it is the same for you - and if you can spare a
minute, could you have a look at this link and try the test and let us know
the result.

Ok I finally worked out the clock mechanism. that's neat. On the check test, I found my eyes lost focus and so I missed the colour changes. I will try it again tonight and see if there is an improvement in the dark

Cheers

I can see changes in the reds but not the green, but if I'm not mistaken, green and yellow are the hardest to see changes in on a color wheel.

variations are easy for me to see

On this (uncalibrated CRT) monitor, I can see the red differences, but not the greens. I'll look later on my (calibrated) flat panel.

Nope. My eyes aren't any better on this monitor than the other one.:cry

This subject appears to be of limited interest to people.

I've posted it to 3 forums and so far (24 hours later) 196 people have looked and 10 have downloaded the test.

I have had 2 replies saying they can see all hues and 4 that had trouble with the greens and sometimes the reds.

I guess that if people could see the hue difference on the posted image, they would have said so - if that is correct, then the majority of people have difficulting in these hues on THEIR screens (have no idea how many are calibrated).

I think I'll do a little more research and perhaps try a stationary test, with bands (of different thickness) changing hues over a limited range. Maybe that will make a difference from a moving test - I'll have to let my little grey cells do a little more work.

I will note that I didn't have any trouble until the 60 test, where I missed some green and red. I will note that initially, I tried the 30 test at the small size before I realized how to make it bigger, and that time missed some, I don't remember which ones.

Also I noticed the color changes felt rather predictable, so you knew when to expect them, I might change the delay so it is randomly 1-3 seconds, or maybe .5-3 seconds, it might make it feel a little bit more random and a little bit less predictable.

I will say, I think that the concept is pretty cool.

Good Luck!

I have no problems with the reds. On the other hand the same greens and the darkest 3-4 blues give me fits on both my cal'd and uncal'd monitors.
