Very nice shade of white.  That's all I get; a white screen.

I just tried it again and went right back to the test. I'm at a loss to splain your experience.

We seem to exhibit similar characteristics. I tried 3 times and only achieved a 38% score on the last try. The first two were dead zero on points.

I feel better now as I was 0%, 13% and finally 50% before crashing and burning.

I took me three tries to get 100%.

I am tempted to go back but there is no possibility for me to exceed that performance since I have already had 3 tries.<BWG>

Exactly my experience.

In my experience ladies are far more adept at perceiving and expressing color than are men.

Color blindness is far more common in men than in women.  My wife can distinguish thirty-eight different shades of sage.

Jim Grey assigns that difference to our origins. Hunter-Gatherers. The hunter only had to see the big gray thing and have the strength to bring it down while the gatherers  had to distinguish the state of development of that vegetable or fruit by its color.

On rare occasion you meet a man more capable in color discernment than the average woman. 

My best friend is an artist of note. His wife scored 100% on the test on the second try while the fellow applying color to canvas or paper got frustrated and quit.

SCORE:  100%

I find that shouting the color of the word the second you see it helps!

SCORE:  100%

Took me two tries.  The first I scored 88%.  When I shouted out the color the second time, I scored the 100%.  I think that reading long lists of names constantly like I do in genealogy research and having to find that one needle in the haystack even when it's misspelled and not alphabetized has helped me do better on games where eye/hand coordination and quick perception is needed.  ?????

I would probably shout out the word the letters make rather than the color of them.

The hunter only had to see the big gray thing

Yet the Grand Masters of art are invariably men.

I'm still just getting a white page, but from reading the other posts it sounds like that thing where you arrange all the shaded boxes in order from one color to the next.  Am I right?

OK, now I got it.  I eliminated the colortest.swf ending and got a page where I clicked parent directory and was able to select color test.  My first try was 13%, second 88%.

And the great Chefs are men too. Perhaps there is a bit of Chauvinism in the situation or the women were to busy raising children to splash about with paint.

Being involved with the art community here I have some pieces on my wall painted by women. No masters but collectible. History gets to establish their level of accomplishment. Then there is Marion's daughter here who is having some success with her art.

And you are probably a better cook than I am.<G>

I went back to try again and scored a big, round goose egg!  Then I had a little talk with myself and scored 100% again. <g>

Exactly my experience.

The name of the color is so seductive!  I had to quit reading the words to get a good score.
