Color test

got a 24 guess that is good ?

Zero is perfect and I scored an 85. Since 99 is a poor score for my age and sex, evidently I shouldn't be picking out my own clothes much less quilting fabrics.

Just one more thing to be depressed about today. Debra in VA See my quilts at:

I had a 16. Wish they'd told the average for my age group.

You could blame it on you monitor, you know. Maybe it is just not representing the colors accurately? Jane in NE Ohio

WOW! I got a 4! And I thought that I was a bad judge of color.

Here is a color test for all quilters. See how you do.

I'm not sure what it meant by that bar across the bottom, with 0 (perfect) and 99 (high) as given it was on yours and mine and we're probably not the same age and gender (I'm female in the 20-29 age band), then I'm not sure it means 99 is poor, particularly as the worst score was given as 1403, it would be unusual statistically for the worst score to be 10 times worse than a score that is still considered bad.

I got 112, which I thought was quite good, I could see when I move my head about that there were bumps in the colour variation, but they changed at different angles, so given a plain screen of one colour generally looks not to be so when you start focusing on it, it seems that reading too much into the scores isn't meaningful. I think it's more interesting to look at the graph of where your weak spots are, I clicked done when to me they all looked equally not quite perfect but at the limitations of the computer screen and light conditions just now, I could have played with brightness and contrast and might have improved it, but I wanted to see how I was doing. One colour band was obviously worse than the others, though I suppose I still can't tell whether that's about how my computer handles those colours or my brain!

I got an 8 so guess my beginning cataracts are still not causing too much of a problem although I needs LOTS of light these days,

Discovered that if you stop to rest your eyes, go back to reading the NG for a tiny bit, and then go back to the test, it resets itself to the original. NO FAIR! My eyes won't let me look at the screen that long in one time period. Wonder why it changed back tho.I didn't change the screen to anything else BUMMER

I scored 30. I really thought I had a better eye. humph!!!

The slider is logarithmic, backwards. 99 and 1403 would show on the same spot on the slider, but there is going to be space between 0 and

I too had one color band that was far worse than the others, and it was an icky color I wouldn't even use to make a quilt for the blind. Perhaps a score has more to do with individual monitor RGB values and their skewed logarithmic scale than with our actual abilities. Those shades were extremely close to each other and the blocks didn't seem to be a constant shade either. No matter, I'll keep sewing colors I like together into blocks.

Debra, thank you for the laugh of the day. Debra wrote "evidently I shouldn't be picking out my own clothes much less quilting fabrics." Does anybody here bother much with nail color? (This seems like a good place to toss the question in.) My doctor has me taking Vitamin D and a side effect is suddenly I have lovely long fingernails. Imagine that? I have working hands. Rude but we would call them red. I do dishes, I do floors, Yorkies and windows. I've forgotten. Do I want a nail polish with a rosy hue or a beige bent? It's been 50 years since I needed to know. Since we have a wonderful, special group of experts on all subjects, is there someone who remembers "Color Me Beautiful" that can tell me which shade would be kindest to my gorgeous new claws? And don't mess with me. I can hurt you now. Polly

I change my polish to match my clothes- if I'm needing a manicure. Otherwise I match my clothes to whatever nail color I have on- but I don't do greens, blues, black, etc. I have a ruddy complexion and I find I am best staying away from orange/peach shades. A deeper purplish mauve with beige undertones seems to suit my skin the best. And I can wear deep red polish pretty well, too, if it's pearlized. A solid red doesn't look as good. But I was told to never wear red clothing, so who knows??? (Just thinking your skin on your hands would be along the lines of my skin tone....) I take a vitamin called "Hair, Skin & Nails", but I haven't noticed the dramatic difference you have- lucky you!

Pul-leeze, Leslie. What in the Sam Hill is "deeper purplish mauve with beige undertones"? And you haven't done a progress report, how is your new baby Teddy? Polly

I got 33.

I gave him a bath last night. His hair is a wild and fluffy and fly-away..... think Rod Stewart without mousse! It's so cute! Other than that he has an abscess on his back- VERY close to his spine- which was a lump Tuesday night and a draining mess by Wed. afternoon. He got an antibiotic shot and is on a HUGE dose of antibiotic pills. If the meds don't work then he'll need surgery. Knock on wood, but it looks like it's shrinking and no more drainage. May it continue.... Thanks for asking. Wish I didn't have bad-ish news.

I'll email a scan of the polish bottle! VBG
