Here's a color vision test. I scored perfect color vision. It's pretty interesting!
This was fun. Thanks for sharing.
Your score: 18

Best score for your gender and age range: 0
Highest score for your gender and age range: 1520
Im very colorblind by the way . I just asked my co-worker what color he was I was told he was orange and yellow. LOL. I was under the impression he was green (the orange) with an even lighter shade of green (the yellow)
Either way I'm still interested in one similar to the butter above or any green morphs (if any even exist)
Color is dependent on the wavelength of light reflected off of something. If the lighting is artificial (electric/ kerosene lantern/etc) then it is going to skew the name I apply to the color. Also, if I am in a room painted orange, and the light bulbs are throwing out a pink wavelength of light, then anything white in the room is going to look peach. Heck, even outside in light provided by our friend Mister Sun, the colors change throughout the year depending on the trajectory of the sunlight through the ozone, and cloud or fog cover. Then there's the humdinger that many cornsnake are not a flat matte color, but instead have several layers of skin, which may be transparent with a hue, translucent, and so forth. There are many colors which are not simply yellow, red, blue, magenta, fuchsia, violet, white. Rather they are blends of colors.
The scaleless corns come to mind as a reference point; consider how the colors of the scaleless corns look compared to a counterpart with scales- if I knew all the names of all the colors in the world- I could articulate this better. The color name 'chartreuse' for instance, a word I'd seen and understood, but never heard it pronounced outloud until I was a teenager... and then later heard-or-learned that what I was calling chartreuse was in fact something else because "it was too brown to be chartreuse" (in context had to do with flowers on a species of Euphorbia).
Who's to say that maybe some of the color names I "learned" at an early age were not the correct name for a specific hue. ViewSonic computer monitors recognize 16.7 million colors. Sorry, the names of each of those individual colors is not in my vocabulary. Yet, somehow, I continue to navigate life's road not knowing all the color names.
Then there's that hum-zinger of cornsnakes going through color changes with age. "What color names is your 2 month old Terrazzo?" (I'll ask you again after the next shed LOL). I guess part of the problem is that many of our pets are more then merely 200 hues of different colors.
And pile on that I can place the subject in some kind of lighting, and move 360 degrees around said subject. taking 36 photos, and some of the photos, if I'm lucky, will be close to true color capture, but many will be discarded.
Imagine if we lived on a planet where the star at the center of our solar system was a different wavelength of color...
