Color Discrimination

Continuing the research on perception, I found this article from creativepro.com about the Farnsworth-Munsell color discrimination test. This test is to determine someone's ability to discern between colors (not really for specific color-blindness, but for more subtle variations in perception between people). The testee (Not those testees!) has to arrange a 100 color in order - much like an obsessive compulsive might arrange their wardrobe. Then the results are plotted onto a cool graph and you'll find out where you lack a fine-turned eye. The interesting twist to this article comes when one person who took the test asked if having blue contacts would mess up the test. No real conclusive answer, but basically didn't alter the result much... Where's my old Pantone swatch books - time to make my own Hubert-Farnsworth test (or whatever it's called). Check out Farnsworth-Munsell results for subjects with anomalous color vision.
