X-Rite has an interesting (but very difficult) online test to measure your ability to differentiate among hues. meuon is excused from the test...

23 - On my Dell 2200FP, I find I get better differentiation if I look at two color pairs straight on. Viewing at an angle decreases differentiation.

12 for me on my thinkpad. I was hoping they'd tell me where that was on the bell curve, though. Errors in three little clumps

Done quickly: 369. I'll try again in the morning, I think I'm better when I'm not tired.

That was very cool. I got an 11 on a fairly crappy monitor. I think I'll get the kid with the megacool monitor and better eyes to try it.

A 15... doesn't seem so bad for someone the Army determined as colorblind I guess. I was told I have a blue/green deficiency, but it seems most of my errors were between blue and purple.

But of course - and they'll sell you their $4995 Hubble Laser Guided Color Measurement device to help you fine tune your monitor!

Seems like that's pretty dependent on your monitor setup...
