About this quiz

Tetrachromacy is a rare genetic trait, found almost exclusively in women, that gives some people a fourth type of cone cell in their eyes. Where most people distinguish around 1 million colors, a tetrachromat may perceive up to 100 times more. The catch is that most people who have this trait have no idea, because the world around them was not designed to reveal it.

This quiz probes your color perception through questions about gradients, shadows, subtle tone differences, and how your color sensitivity compares to the people around you. Your result will place you on the spectrum from typical trichromat vision to strong indicators of heightened color sensitivity. It is a self-reported quiz, not a clinical eye test, but it is a genuinely interesting way to find out how you actually see the world.
