Test your color recognition

20 at high speed… reckon I could get it lower if I had the patience and concentration levels required.
Makes a big difference which screen you use – tried it again at home and scored 4 (19 on laptop at work) !!

The commonest is red/green colour blindness, though there are other rarer ones.
For red/green:
The usual figures are that about 8% of men are colour blind, and about 0.5% of women.
The gene is on the X chromosome; men have only one, therefore if defective, they will be colour blind. Their male children
will get either an X from them, or their mother. Their female children will have an X from mother and father,
so usually these girls aren’t colour blind – but they are carriers. The female children from a colour blind male
and a carrier female may get one good X from the mother and a bad one from the father, so they aren’t
color blind; but they may get the bad X from the mother and the bad X from the father, so they will be
colour blind.Females need 2 bad X chromosomes to be colour blind, men have only one anyway.
I certainly didn’t grow out of mine. Most of the colours on the page looked the same to me.
And I’ve a bad sense of direction too :|

My dad and my uncle are both colour blind. I always thought I was as I failed those colour tests as a child – but I seem to have grown out of it or something?! Is that possible I wonder?!Must Google it… here we go:
# Although defective color vision may be acquired as a result of another eye disorder, the vast majority of color blind cases are hereditary – present at birth. The gene for this is carried in the X chromosome. Since males have an X-Y pairing and females have X-X, color blindness can occur much more easily in males and is typically passed to them by their mothers.
# Color blindness is rooted in the chromosomal differences between males and females. Females may be carriers of color blindness, but males are more commonly affected.There was also a theory that there is a similar chromosonal explanation for women’s poor sense of direction – that while men might have a greater chance of being colourblind, at least we would be able to work out where we were going to.
(Sits back and waits for the deluge of criticism.)
Oh Yea,
Spatial awareness !
4, apparently I have a problem telling some blues and greens apart.
Now where did I put that blue apple I bought earlier?
