I scored 8 but my eyes are 40 years old and tired from working all day.

My green cones are the weakest...

Tried again with rested eyes and my trusty home crt, got a 3, good enough I guess.

Really depends a lot on the monitor and calibration I suppose, if two hues fall out of gamut range they could theoretically be mapped to the same color making a correct order a game of chance.

Hrm. Blur your eyes a bit while doing it; helps resolve the hues. Maybe have a few beers too.

I posted this on the CGA forums, but I'll repost here as well:

A non calibrated monitor will definetly make a difference as if the curve response is not linear the tonal range could be skewed. Also the gamut of the monitor could make a difference as well. Case in point, last night I was accessing this from my laptop via remote desktop. Even though RDP was set to 24 bit, my laptop (MacBookPro) has a significantly smaller gamut than my Dell High Gamut monitor. Last night I scored 12, today I scored 0.

I did a quick screen capture of the color swatches and brought that into PhotoShop and checked for out of gamut colors and there were none. I compared it to the sRGB color space. That having been said the sRGB color space is only an approximation of what the "average" non-high gamut display is able to reproduce. Every monitor is different.

The exact RGB values for the swatches can be found by looking at the source code on the page, so I'd have to check those values against the sRGB color space model to see if any of them are close to the edges of the color space. If any of them were it's possible for some monitors to be less capable of differentiating two similar swatches. I do know for a fact that when I profiled my MacBookPro display last year there were several areas where it fell short of the sRGB color space. It's also is much less capable of reproducing a color ramp than my high gamut display.
