[website] Are you safe at traffic lights?

I got 10/10 but one was an educated guess.

 

Can You Pass A Color Blind Test?

[elsiegee40]

I got 10/10. My father, an electrical engineer, passed every one of these he took, but was definitely colour blind. His was green/grey rather than the most common red green. I remember him having an argument with my Mum about a hated grey carpet that had the whole family puzzled. It was green. My daughter seems to have the same problem. There is a green rug in our spare room that she says is grey!

 

Fortunately for drivers, traffic lights are arranged vertically so people with a red/green problem can go by light position

4/10 3 of them were lucky guesses

[MrPstv]

I got 0,ohh well.

10/10 - that was easy

Did you find the second shape one easy? I picked the correct answer because it looked less like the other two. The first shape was pretty obvious.

 

The thing is, we could all see colours differently. We only know that blue is blue because someone told us. So, it's not really surprising that we see subtle shades differently. We have two wheely bins. One is a light green and the other I reckon is slate grey but my wife says it's green. So if I ask her which bin has to go out and she says green, I then have to ask if it's the green bin that is green or the grey bin she thinks is green. This invariably leads to "Why can't you look on the calendar like I have to???" To which I reply "Why don't you put it out?" I know, it's a daft thing to say but I can't help myself.

Personally, yes. As I was getting towards the end I did start to worry that maybe I was doing something wrong, that there was some trick I hadn't noticed. The obvious answers meant I'm colour blind or something, then I hit the submit button - 10/10.

[Achandler]

That was really easy.

 

But then the only colour I ever disagree on with people are some navy blues and dark purples

[Grey-gear]

10/10 for me

[witch]

10/10 although I did have to think about the woman shape one.

 

I apparently have a bit of an issue with light green/turquoise/blue. I see something as green and others see it as blue.

I also saw our old suite as green when everyone else thought it was grey

[network41]

9/10 not bad

[clareq]

My husband has a grey suit he insists is blue. I'm not sure which of us is wrong.

[plexer]

10/10 here did it the other night from a facebook link.

I second this light green/turquoise/blue colour "blindness"

 

Maybe it's a ginger thing

 

Oh and...

Ohh - maybe it is! Perhaps we could get a huge grant to research this issue

[Tesla]

I once turned up to a sports day in a top I thought was green (it was our house colour, we were Rome.) and at the end of the 3 events I did, everyone assumed I was in Paris. (Blue...obviously)

[Tesla]

@abillybob , can you vouch for this too? haha

[X-13]

Oh wait... you said HUGE grant.

 

 

Also, 10/10.

[Garacesh]

Yep, 10/10.

Duck/Snake was a bit confusing, but that's because it doesn't really look like either unless you really pay attention.

[3s-gtech]

10/10 without having to linger on any of them, but my eyesight is pretty good generally too. It's interesting how difficult some find it.

[AMLinington]

10/10 here too although as my mother has aged, her perception of colours - particularly shades of blue and red has warped. She will regularly describe turquoise as 'Green' and Red as 'Purple', or even 'Purple' as blue and when I say 'No Mum it's turquoise' she'll argue that it's green even if several others agree with me and the colour is described as 'Turquoise' on the label. She has these ghastly orange curtains in her lounge that she swears are 'pink'. They really really aren't. They are orange. Very very orange. Perhaps my mum is the same as you @witch? She really struggles with shades of blue. Edited July 15, 2014 by AMLinington

9/10 and that was only because I didn't concentrate on one.

[pcstru]

0/10 but no matter, I've never seen ANY traffic lights round here.

[6Foot2]

1/10. I had no idea about any of them and so all were guesses. However I can easily distinguish traffic light colours.

 

Edit: Mrs. DaveP got 10/10. All images were seen easily and replies came without hesitation.

Add another response.

[AMLinington]

10/10 :-)

 

Not bad, shapes were really hard to figure out though

 

Mostly because they're a bit abstract - the 'Woman' one was weird. I looked at it for ages before I could see ANY of the options they gave and that wasn't because I had issues with the colours but simply because it took me a minute to understand the picture.
