Color IQ Test

I was just playing with the X-Rite Color IQ Test and it reminded me to share it with you.

You are presented with a screen that looks like this. You then rearrange the squares to reflect the gradation between the fixed squares at each end.

On the monitor it is a bit more challenging to see the nuances of each color but still works well and is fun.

You can take the teston the X-Rite website by clicking here…

Usually I have taken the Farnsworth Munsell 100 Hue Scoring System that is also available through X-Rite. They offer this at each of the CMG conferences I attend and it is a good way to confirm your ability to discern colors. If you are interested you can learn more about the system here…

Try it out online and let me know how you do.
