Color Hue Test
Arrange colors by hue order
What is the Color Hue Test?
The Color Hue Test challenges you to arrange colored tiles in the correct order of hue transition. Based on the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue Test used by graphic designers and quality control professionals, it measures the fineness of your color discrimination ability.
How to Use
- 1Drag and arrange the colored tiles between the fixed anchor colors
- 2Order them so the transition from one anchor color to the other is smooth and gradual
- 3Submit when you are satisfied with your arrangement
- 4A lower error score means better hue discrimination
What is a Good Score?
A perfect score (0 errors) is exceptional. Scores under 20 indicate excellent color discrimination. The average person scores 50–100. Scores above 200 suggest notable difficulty with fine hue distinctions.
Tips to Improve
- →Take the test in daylight or daylight-balanced lighting — warm-toned lights distort color perception
- →Rest your eyes for a few minutes before testing — fatigue reduces color discrimination by up to 30%
- →Calibrate your monitor to standard D65 white point for the most accurate color rendering
