What’s Your Color IQ? A Fun Pantone Paint Color Quiz

How Well Do You See Color?

I was browsing through Facebook the other day and came across a post about a Colour IQ Test, so of course, I had to take it. I scored 0, which, unlike the other types of IQ tests I’ve taken, bodes well for my ego.

How long does it take? Just a few minutes.

What’s the point? 

You’ll discover how well you see undertones. They (whoever ‘they’ are) state that ‘1 out of 12 men have some sort of color deficiency’, and I have to agree with them. I’m amazed at the number of times I’ve been to a client’s house and said to the main man, ‘What do you think?‘ and he says, ‘Don’t bother asking me; I’m color blind.‘ Enough said.

I only wish this test included details on what it meant if you were ‘within a certain range of numbers’. So, just so you have some guidelines on which to base your number, here’s how I classify things…

0-10          Color Genius

11-30        I may not hire you to help me pick colors, but I still like you

31-50        One of your eyes might be slightly crossed from the other (which I can make fun of as I was born this way)

51-70        Are your socks even matching?

70+           Would you like a straw and funnel with that wine bottle?

Like Tim (my hubby), this is just for eye candy…

So, all of that being said, let’s get on to the test—I’d love to hear about your results, and they better not be better than mine!
