Color Blindness Test

View each dot plate and type the number you see. This screens for red-green colour vision differences using Ishihara-style plates.

This is a fun screening, not a medical diagnosis. Screen calibration and brightness affect results — see an optometrist for a real test.

How to take the test

  1. Sit at a comfortable distance with your screen at normal brightness.
  2. Look at each plate and type the number you can read — leave it blank if you can't see one.
  3. After the last plate you'll see how many you matched and what that may suggest.

About red-green colour vision

The most common colour vision differences are red-green types (protan and deutan), affecting roughly 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women. Ishihara-style plates hide a figure in dots that differ mainly by hue, so they're hard to read if those hues look similar to you.

Frequently asked questions

Is this accurate?

It's a rough screening only. Real diagnosis needs calibrated plates and a professional.

Why might I fail on one device but not another?

Different screens render colours differently. That's exactly why an online test can't replace a clinical one.
