MouldI got a 4, I always assumed I had extremely poor colour differentiation, because I usually find in video games that I don't see people, apparently I'm just super unobservant. :(
detecting shape and detecting color are different things tbf. rods detect motion and overall shape but only really work in yr periphery. yr cones detect color and provide higher resolution. cones are what you see the center of yr vision. Having strong or weak color vision doesn't really correlate to shape detection. You might just have a slow visual processing speed.
smakersIt's strange to me how this translates to video games, because color-testing always shows my strongest region as being blue, but it is always excessively difficult for me to discern a blue item in a video game from the surrounding terrain. As a result, I always prefer to play on the blue team if one exists. Spotting blue players in TF2 is much, much more difficult than spotting reds.
if you see predominantly blue in most images, the other colors that differentiate the items wouldn't help you. Combined with the inability to differentiate darker hues everything that emits any amount of blue would have a certain baseline level of blue to it.
Really shitty examples, but when all you're seeing is one color, detecting differences is harder than seeing like one color and half of the other two. I don't really have yr eyes and I doubt what you see is this dark but w/e
Someone like monochromatic bunny who actually plays completely in one color would only detect shades, but I think his ability to detect shades and hues is stronger than yours so the lack of color wouldn't hurt as much as long as no two colors maintain the same shade. Tf2 does a really good job of making sure players are differentiated both on color and shade of color tho.
edit: different attempt at showing lack of other colors making blu harder to differentiate. The stock image's highlights on the skin and weapons server to differentiate the blue players from the blue background, but the lack of these and the reduced contrast makes it harder to focus on individual points when moving yr eyes quickly

nitei think its sort of cheating because i do a lot of work in photoshop and my monitor is calibrated to show color perfectly, whereas im sure a lot of people have sort of wonky color settings that mess with the arrangement of colors along the gradient
Would be interesting to know some useful resources on calibrating our monitors. It's one of those things I never really looked into and I know I'm most probably not using the best settings but would be incredibly useful to me since I do a lot of video work with color correction.

Best score for your gender and age range: -24350 nice
This is bs tbh, so many monitor settings and ICC involved. Also after looking for a while you get "color fatigue", watching for long enough fatigues the cones in your retina and thus everything looks the same lol

1 of the reds at the end looked off btw.
it was too orange and too light to fit in the sequence, I placed it in the right spot but it still bothered me.
im gonna go ahead and blame the test and my monitor here ;)

Backlighting can affect the color accuracy as well. See https://pcmonitors.info/articles/the-evolution-of-led-backlights/ for a super-detailed thing on it. Monitor review sites usually go into this as well if they test the color ranges.
I still have a 2010 laptop that has an RGB-LED TN screen that looks amazing compared to most non-IPS panels (oversatured in general though, compared to a calibrated IPS). Compared it to a friend's screen once through some attachment lens for his camera (I think a polarizing filter?) and the standard LEDs only came through it at certain positions, whereas you could see mine fade through red, green, and blue as you spun the filter.

The difference in color between my Dell U2415 and Asus VG248QE is like night and day. It's so hard to see on the VG248QE the difference between each color (haven't bothered calibrating it or anything). Also looking at the completed ones, there's a "blur" between each color whereas on the U2415 you can see a pretty clear line. IPS pre calibrated monitors are pretty good if you care about color. I only did two rows granted, but I got those two rows perfectly.

I got 8 with problems around reddish orange. I don't think the vg248qe reproduces color very well, not going to bother to dig out my old monitor to try though
edit: I forgot, I have the color temperature turned down a bit, that's probably the issue

Well I guess that's okay, sat there looking at my screen for around 30 minutes tho

That was strangely calming. After a while, the individual blocks start looking non-homogenous.
