FAQ

Common questions

Is an online color blind test accurate?
Ishihara-style plates are widely used for screening, but screen calibration and lighting affect results. Use this as a self-check, not a diagnosis.
How long does it take?
The comprehensive 24-question test usually takes about 3 minutes.
Can this replace a medical exam?
No. For driving licenses, jobs, or clinical concerns, see an ophthalmologist or optometrist.
What is the difference between color blindness and color weakness?
Color blindness usually means one channel is largely unavailable; color weakness means reduced discrimination with some residual color vision.
