How Is Your Eye For Color?

As quilters, we are drawn to color.  We might have a favorite color, or prefer certain color combinations in the quilts that we see and those that we make.  Some quilters like bright colors.  Some prefer muted.  My husband says that he can spot my quilts a mile away, because I prefer muted colors that blend into each other.  What are your preferences?

How good are you at placing colors into order by hue?  Can you take a stack of blue fabrics and arrange them from light to dark easily?  How about red?  Here’s a fun test to see how well you do at this skill.  Give it a try!

FACT: 1 out of 255 women and 1 out of 12 men have some form of color vision deficiency.

  5. I'm with Martha - I got a 4. I'm in the 40-49 age range! Would increasing age lead to increasing scores?
    It may also depend on how long you spend on the test - OCD people agonize over their choices! :-)
