Color Vision Test
Check your color perception for gemology studies with this Ishihara-style screening test
Did You Know?
- Color blindness affects approximately 1 in 12 men (8%) and 1 in 200 women worldwide.
- Most color blind people can see things just as clearly as others, they just can't distinguish certain colors.
- The Ishihara test, which you're about to take, was developed in 1917 and remains the most widely used color vision test.
- Color vision deficiency is usually inherited and present from birth, though it can sometimes be acquired later in life.

Don'ts
- Don't squint or strain your eyes
- Don't take too long on each image - trust your instincts
