Understanding Your Color Blind Test Results

✓ Normal Color Vision (10-12 Correct)

Scoring 10 or more plates correctly suggests normal red-green color vision. You can distinguish the colored numbers from the background dots as expected.

What this means: Your cone cells appear to be functioning normally for red-green color perception. However, this online test does not screen for blue-yellow color deficiencies.

⚠ Possible Mild Deficiency (7-9 Correct)

Scoring 7-9 plates correctly may indicate a mild color vision deficiency, such as deuteranomaly or protanomaly. These are the most common forms of color blindness.

What this means: You may have some difficulty distinguishing certain shades of red, orange, yellow, and green. However, factors like monitor calibration and lighting could affect results.

Recommendation: Consider scheduling an appointment with an eye care professional for comprehensive testing under controlled conditions.

⚠ Likely Color Vision Deficiency (0-6 Correct)

Scoring 6 or fewer plates correctly strongly suggests a red-green color vision deficiency. This could be protanopia, deuteranopia, or their milder forms.

What this means: You likely have difficulty distinguishing between certain colors, particularly in the red-green spectrum. This affects approximately 8% of males and 0.5% of females.

Recommendation: We strongly recommend consulting an eye care professional for a definitive diagnosis and to determine the specific type and severity of your color vision deficiency.
