Tests for Cone Deficiency


First, estimate Gamma for your monitor.

Select the test for the gamma you have estimated. The coloured blocks in each row are either the same or different. For each row, make a note of whether the blocks appear the same or different.

Gamma = 1.5
Gamma = 1.7
Gamma = 1.9
Gamma = 2.1

Check the answers. If you are missing a cone-type, you should score about 5 correct on the test for that cone-type. Otherwise you should score about 8 or 9 correct.

This test assumes that your browser can depict 24-bit colour. If this is not the case, you may need to download the GIF images to an application which can display 24-bit colour.

Selecting "Dithered Colour" on your browser may work reasonbaly well.
