Colour blind test

Please read the number in each dot plate. There are 9 plates: 1 practice plate, 6 red-green plates and 2 blue-yellow plates. The colours are chosen so that people with a colour vision deficiency find them hard to tell apart. This test cannot replace a colour vision test by an eye doctor.

  • 9 plates: 1 practice, 6 red-green and 2 blue-yellow.
  • New plates are generated for each test. No printed test book is copied.
  • For screening only. It cannot replace an eye test.
