Color Vision Test: Check the Image and Count How Many Colors You See — Leisure

If You See Fewer Than 20 Colors

If You See Fewer Than 20 Colors
You have dichromatic color vision. This means you can’t perceive one of the three primary colors (blue, green, or red). But don’t worry—this isn’t the same as color blindness, where a person only sees shades of gray, from black to white. You still experience a rich palette of colors, and there are no health risks involved. Expert Diana Derval points out that dogs see colors on a similar scale. Because of this, you might prefer wearing black, gray, or other muted colors, as these feel more comfortable and you can better judge what suits you. About 25% of people have dichromatic vision, so you’re definitely not alone.

If You Saw Between 20 and 33 Different Colors

If You Saw Between 20 and 33 Different Colors
If you spotted between 20 and up to 33 distinct shades in the image above, you’re in the majority. You have trichromatic vision (the most widely accepted explanation), meaning your eyes have three types of cones sensitive to long, medium, and short wavelengths. This lets you perceive purple, deep blue, green, and red—an awesome range shared by about 50% of people.

If You Saw Between 34 and 39 Different Colors

If You Saw Between 34 and 39 Different Colors
Hats off to you! You have exceptional color vision. Like bees and many birds, you can see most shades on the color spectrum, even in bright light. You probably find very bright colors, like lemon yellow, a bit overwhelming. You tend to prefer wearing darker, more muted tones. This type of vision is found in about 25% of people, making you part of a smaller group.

Overall, your color vision is good no matter the result. But if this test made you realize you don’t see every shade, it might be worth consulting a doctor. Color vision issues have different stages, and more severe cases can affect daily life. Mild color vision deficiency means all three cone pigments are present, but one is “faulty.” If the problem affects green perception, it’s called green color confusion; if red, red color confusion—both forms of color weakness. Moderate deficiency means one cone pigment is completely missing, so you can’t see green, red, or blue at all. Severe deficiency means two pigments are missing, usually leaving only blue perception. The rarest and most severe form is when only shades of gray are visible. Fortunately, this is very uncommon.
