This test is based on the widely used Ishihara plate test. Here’s how it works:

  • Look at the colored images below and enter the numbers you see.
  • You’ll receive instant results indicating potential color blindness and which colors might be problematic for you.

How the Ishihara Test Works:

The Ishihara Test uses colored dots to form numbers. People with normal vision can distinguish the different colors and see the numbers clearly. However, those with color blindness might see all the dots as the same color, making it difficult or impossible to identify the numbers.

Ishihara Plates:

The test uses a series of colored plates called Ishihara plates. Each plate contains a circle of dots in various colors and sizes. Most people will see distinct shapes, like numbers, within the pattern. People with certain types of color blindness may see different numbers or struggle to see any shapes at all.

Why Color Coding Isn’t Always Ideal:

Sometimes, information is conveyed solely through color codes. Unfortunately, these codes can be difficult for people with color blindness to understand. To ensure inclusivity, consider using good graphic design principles that go beyond color to deliver information effectively. This benefits everyone, not just those with color blindness.
