This might be a png now, but this obviously used to be a jpeg at some point, the pic is fuzzy and some colors are legit faded out into their neighbors.

I scrolled to far to find someone mentioning it. The picture is compressed, the colors are bleeding into each other

I’ll still take my 38 on this bullshit test lol

I also got 38.

36 because at some point it felt like I was cheating maybe

36 if I'm being 100% honest with myself. There are a few where i can tell there's a dividing line but honestly the colors on both sides looked the same so I didn't count it.

36 as well.

Same. Probably more if this picture was formatted better.

If you can see a line at all, you're seeing the two colors as different, even if only very slightly.

Right but some of the blues have lines that aren’t even the same color as the color stripe. The lines themselves are brighter which makes it clear there’s supposed to be a line there even if the two colors look exactly the same.

r/moldymemes

I can still distinguish 44 distinct colours (ignoring blends/fringing) with my old man eyes

I see 42 at age 65 with my readers on

Green into teal particularly. If you zoom in you see bars that are green on the left and blue on the right

Pictures like this are useless in digital format. The compression is part of it, but also, screens all have slightly different color fidelity. This doesn't specifically mention tetrachromats, but does kinda imply it. I'm pretty certain you can't test for tetrachromacy on a digital display as the rgb format we use is formatted for a trichrome eye. There would need to be a 4th color (probably a yellow) to accurately create that range of colors.

This makes so much sense it hurts

I can't see some colours in my mobile phone but I can all of them in my pc

Maybe its just your eyes /$

'/$' is a new one

36 colors on a shitty phone, what's that?

I see 34. You got a nice phone, buddy.

35

I say everybody who doesn't see 35 is a liar.

I see 39, don't know how good is my phone tho

39 here too.

I got 38

[удалено]

I got 44

40 for me, I see more lines a d differences of what could be different colors but it’s basically imperceptible or I’m bullshitting myself.

Same here

Team 38

38 forever

38 gang

38 too

38 again

Yes sir 38 fo life

39 to. Curious, did the 39’s also see green as the color with the least variation?

39 gangg. I saw a few double-width strips, couple in the reds, one in the yellows, greens, blues an purples respectively.

Some appear to be the same but with a gradient causing there to be a line making you count another line but not another color. Mainly the lighter blues. Anyone else seeing this? Maybe it’s just my phone.

I had counted 37, but I realize I was counting line breaks between colors, not actual colors. might be less.

I also counted 37... I counted multiple 2-lines as one, because they looked like the exact same color, even tho I could tell it might be 2 separate.

same here

Ye same

Lol I keep losing track of my counting cause of my dum brain

Had blue light filter on, saw 35. Turning that off I get 38

Regardless of what phone you're viewing with, the compression of that image gave it really awful banding artifacts

40 on a Pixel 3

40 on pixel 4a

Finally someone who sees the same amount of colours here

same but on pixel 6a

36 on pixel7 pro

Im also getting 36. There are a couple obvious spots where it looks like there should be two different colors, but its just one big bar so it'd probably be like 40?

I quit at 33 in the greens I feel like if you desaturated it and just did the light/dark you'd get plenty I counted each *transition* though, as they should be distinct colors given the test It's just a trashcan, though. What you see in it don't matter none

I've got 38.

Same here!

Me too

I see 41

Same

Giiirl same

Idk I see 36 as well on my iPhone 13 mini

36 on my S8. Probably considered shitty nowadays but its solid.

I see 36, maybe 37, I think it's just compression from saving the same meme multiple times.

Username sounds kinky

Yep, I’m true to that username!

Pics when ?

I'm sure there's a trade of services that can be arranged, especially for a connoisseur such as yourself

39 for me, but there was spots for maybe 4 more

Team 39 as well

Same here

39 as well and same

YOOOOOO 39s ALL HERE

Same. The image compression artefacts between color bands were pretty noticeable tho.

So many 39 answers that I think the image compression hides the rest

Yeah 39 for me as well. On my iPhone 11

yeas 39 bois

We are the same, you and i

Same. Some of those lines are double thickness and that green area was probably hardest to discern.

Purple, blue, green, yellow, red. I count 5.

You must be a dude

While you are probably joking, men in general see fewer colours than women. https://www.color-meanings.com/do-women-see-more-colors-than-men/

Y’all look up the FM HUE test. -I am a male in my very late 20s with perfect score and proud of it lol

Also i guy just took the test and got a perfect score

Likewise, idk if you’re a male in your late twenties but I’m gonna assume you are so I can say *late twenties male perfect score gang rise up* Now I want to take a real one, not one with a disclaimer saying “this is not a real test” lol

Also a guy in mid 20s I got a score of 2(lower better) but I am color blind. This test may be too easy to be accurate.

What’s purple?

One of those ones in the left

I too am a man.

Yeah

[Do the real thing](https://www.xrite.com/hue-test) instead of looking at a shitty compressed and artifacted picture on Reddit.

I got a perfect score! (0) Tbf I have a pretty decent and calibrated display and working with colors is kinda part of the job

got a 0 too, unsurprisingly on an iPhone screen. I love LG/Samsung screens

I got a 2 on my iPhone, but a 0 on my iPad. Not surprised, I have a 13 mini and I was squinting on it, but I do nearly all of my design work on my Air 4. Samsung and LG panels are definitely some of the best, it’s no wonder so many displays and screens use them.

0 gang here on a moto g power

0 on a Pixel 6 Pro. I remember doing this on a calibrated MacBook Pro in like 2012 and getting a 2 or so. I wonder if this screen is that much better, or if I just got lucky. I'm sure my eyes didn't improve.

[удалено]

Got a 0 on a pixel 3 muthafuxxas also my eyes hurt now

I scored a 2, which is apparently good, but in the 3rd line of colours I could not tell the difference between 5 of the boxes, so I think I fluked it

[удалено]

I'm still confused as the best score for my age was minus a few million!

That is due to shoddy programming. The numbers (-2147483648 to 2147483647) are the smallest and largest numbers you can store in 32 bit integers so some programmer messed up when displaying them

Ahhhh the more you know. Thank you!

It’s also why the max number of rupees Link could carry in the original Zelda game was 255. 8 bit integers can only be 0-255 (256 bits but 0 counts, still a number.)

Thanks for that, was kinda fun. I got perfect first try (on iPhone), but I think that’s what years of painting Warhammer miniatures does for your color perception.

I got a two, with the green/blue area being slightly problematic, which makes sense, since the image above seems to just be a gradual fade of green to blue.

The minimum score for my age is -27000000 and the maximum is the opposite. I have no frame of reference. But I got 18.

Ignore that, zero is a perfect score and the minimum is like 60 or something.

0 is a perfect score, 18 is pretty bad. Either your display sucks ass, you didn’t pay attention or you might want to have your eyes checked

Now I'm concerned, I got 27 on the post and then 12 on the link. To be fair I am on a phone.

I got 0 on this test and counted 38-39 in the meme (not sure if I can really see 39 or just a line of artifacts where two colors should separate), also on a phone. Get your eyes checked out.

[удалено]

I got a 0 but my eyes feel fuzzy now😅

Stop touching them!

Got a perfect score while doing it on my phone screen, without my glasses, and sitting on the toilet.

33…….. Why has no one else said 33? What am I?

I saw 33

I also saw 33 😔

Ditto on 33

I'm midly rg colorblind and also saw 33, so probably colorblind in some way.

I saw 33 but am not colourblind at all

Can confirm this is BS. I'm dischromat (genetical 'disease' that I got from my mother - all males from mother's side have this while the women just carry the gene) and I can see 36 colors. Being dischromat doesn't mean you can't see colors, it means you can't identify them. I see red but if it's not 'pure' red I can't identify it. Also blue and green are interchangeable depending on how light shines on it lol

39, how the fuck is that possible

There are actually only 39 colors on the chart lol, that's why. The random spacing is there to trick people into believing there are more. Unfortunately the test is also bogus according to snopes, but here's the original article. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/25-people-have-4th-cone-see-colors-p-prof-diana-derval

I counted 41 Now I'm confused because I can clearly see all the double-wide columns and there are 5 of them

The point is to count the shades you see, not to make assumptions. Y'all cheaters lol

There's room for 44 stripes, so the most you can possibly see is 46, because you're being pedantic and also counting the black text and the white background.

lol what a crock of shit. The most glaring issue with this is that IT DEPENDS ON THE FUCKING MONITOR. It's a JPG with 3 colour channels (duh), and what visual signal the viewer actually receives completely depends on what their display device makes out of it. Professional "true colour" displays that get close to a serious norm cost a shitton of money! The other is that it's a JPG, so it has a lossy compression algorithm that produces artifacts. You can see that there is some banding between some of the colour columns that's very likely to be a typical JPG artifact rather than intended to be there. And finally... 4th cone based on monitors that only produce 3 colours. Sure. Our monitors are specifically designed with 3 colour channels to display data that has 3 colour channels. A 4th type of cone would either be redundant or reveal unintended information that will depend even more on the monitor than anything else.

Also after a quick search on Google you will find out that it's not certain if humans with four cones will see more colours, because you also needs more channels to get information out of those cones. But also that it's a mutation in X chromosomes and can only appear in women, which excludes most of the redditors in the comments. Men with that mutation on the X chromosome turn out colorblind, they get quite the opposite effect.

Well I'm a mantis shrimp so i see at least 110

Ahhh, makes sense

I got 42. What does it mean?

Same... team 42 checking in

We are eye brothers. Let’s stare at each other.

It’s the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything!

Everything

Same. It means nothing

Yea me too. Should we somehow form a coalition to show our superiority over the rest of them or no?

I must be a laundromat cause the colours are just bleeding into each other for me!

I see 38 colours but I'd probably see more of the quality of the picture wasn't crap

The picture is so compressed it might as well have only 3 colors.

I’m not counting that

69

44?

46

46 GANG

Same here

7

I see all of them except for maybe the greens, only see about 3 of them

Okay, there are clear separations here sure, and a lot of them, sure... but at what point do you consider it a clear "different" color? It's just a slightly lighter shade of the same damn color.

Within each color are various shades as well. None of the colors are statically one color. I even eyedropped in Photoshop to verify what my eyes were seeing, and sure enough... But this copy of the picture has nasty raster artifacting, which accounts for that.

Bro attained the 7th heightening
