How many colors can you see - online test

[ Edited ]

This is cool, and very apropos for all fashionistas.  I saw 35.  

 

ETA:  It seems this now needs a disclaimer since Snopes is being cited.  If anyone believes implicity that this is 100% accurate, then someone is not internet-savvy.  I didn't think it needed a disclaimer.  

 

Why not just have fun with it?

I saw all 39, however it says green and yellow are something I wouldn't have a lot of in my wardrobe.  Yellow is ALWAYS the color that catches my eye and is a STAPLE in my wardrobe.  you would be hardpressed to find much black in my closet.---------tedEbear

I see all of them.  Funny thing, I don't have any yellow in my wardrobe just like the article says.

Between 34 and 39 colours: Wow! You have tetrachromatic vision. Much like bees, you possess four different kinds of cone cells in your eyes and see the majority of colours in the visible light spectrum. The chances are you’re not a fan of yellow and you have next to no yellow clothing in your wardrobe. Only 25% of people can see all the colours in the spectrum.

 

 

Well that was spot on, I don't like yellow and have no yellow clothing.

I saw 35, but contrary to the findings, I do like yellow.  On the other hand, I prefer a buttery, soft yellow to any other sort of yellow.   I have a few yellow things in my wardrobe, but just a few.  I think that's because it's difficult to find just the right shade of yellow.

I went a googled the term tetrachromatic and it's pretty interesting. And yes I've had plenty of debates over what color something is with my husband. 

 

Anyone read the Snopes article on this?

@jaxs mom Google "impossible color" too; very interesting.  I'd never heard the term before.
