    Test Your Color IQ
    Do you consider yourself a "visual" person?

    The FM 100 Hue Test puts forward a simple way of testing your color vision. Arrange the colored squares according to hue. The instructions are simple enough, but the test is tricky. I spent a good ten minutes working on this one, and got a bit of a headache as well.



    My results... I'm a design geek!


    How did you do? :)

    Color is such a magical and complicated thing. It's light, it's pigment, it's mood, it's texture. It's illusory and perceptive. It's three-dimensional: hue, value, and saturation.

    I've often wondered what lies beyond the visible spectrum— when NASA takes pictures of faraway nebulas using "invisible light", they just assign colors to those pictures, that's not really how they look like. If our eyes could perceive beyond ROYGBIV, what would it look like?

    Perfect as well! Also a design geek . . .

    Good exercise. Also to know that the spectrum regions I'm less precise on are the ones that appeals me most...

    I wanted to share this other link that I came across today, but I figured I kind of had to do the test before I did.



    Phew!

    :]

    I do not dare trying the test. I can tell you though, that most radiation in space is visible light. Space photography does assign visible colors to X-rays and infrared, but it is all okay. Improving visible colors is good, because I need improved eyes when gas is faint.

    Oh yes, eyesight in infrared would be very fuzzy because there would be plenty of noise and melting in, poor resolution, disturbances. Ultraviolet vision could work, shining different color to some white flowers perhaps. Except, the sensitivity curve to light is following spectrum curve of sunlight. There is little ultraviolet light on Earth, so we would have decreased sensitivity (in fact, we have none, but I do not know if that is due to some biomolecular limitation or just because there was little to see in ultraviolet so eyes did not develop those molecular receptors). Best sensitivity is for yellow at 550 nanometers of wavelength.

    That's slightly troubling though, because I don't know if yellow is seemingly brightest among the colors due to increased sensitivity or whether there is a general comprehension among all beings that yellow is bright. Most likely god didn't intend any color to be the brightest. Then again, if functioning of matter in the universe could just shift around spectrum, that would change fundamental constants. Specific molecules must resonantly send and receive certain wavelengths. Its hard to say what would universe be like with shifted spectrum...

    That's the worst conclusion ever. Colors are something fundamental - energy levels. Wave packets associate frequency with specific energy via Plank's constant.

    E = h v

    This is maybe interesting. Causes of colors - examples, insects:
