This online colour blind test tests users on whether they have Colour Vision Deficiency (CVD) and records the results as evidence. Colour blindness can limit the ability of individuals to do certain professional roles. Earning a perfect score on this test can help serve as evidence of perfect colour vision. However, it is not a substitute for a medical examination.

Why Is a Colour Blind Test Important?
Colour blindness affects 2.7 million people in the UK, with only 25% people seeing all colours normally. Most people with CVD have deuteranopia, which is red and green colour blindness. Monochromacy is far rarer, affecting 1 in 300,000 people worldwide.
The importance of colour vision tests vary according to the situation. In occupational health and safety, it has more to do with the job requirements and whether CVD affects the workers ability to perform their duties.
This colour blind test can help users detect if they have a form of CVD. It provides a variety of images and asks users to identify numerals in patterns that test various types of colour deficiency.
The main three types are protanopia (insensitivity to red light), deuteranopia (insensitivity to green light) or tritanopia (insensitivity to blue light). Colour blindness can vary in it’s severity, with some only seeing a few colours different and others – in very rare cases – only seeing black and white.
Due to the difference in colour perception on-screen compared to in-person, accurate results cannot be fully guaranteed. If this test leads you to believe that you might have a degree of colour blindness, you should see a licensed optician for a formal diagnosis.
