It sounds like you have red-green color blindness. What result do you get when you take this test?

100% accuracy, 25/25 correct. That said, some of them were extremely difficult, way more than others. Not sure if that's intentional, so I might still have color vision deficiency per se.

I also did the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 hue discrimination test, got a score of 28 on that - ideal being 0, and above 4 meaning something is amiss. So I don't really know what to make of this lol

Redid these tests together with a colleague. Either they are fake or they are badly coded. We double checked the ordering with a color picker and we both ordered by hue angle just fine, yet various tests would keep reporting poor results. Eventually, tests would then flip and start reporting really good scores. Got 2s and a 0 at some point.

Now either we both fluked it the first few times or these tests are genuinely not trustworthy. I find that pretty unlikely, but what I do think I know is that I do not have CVD after all.

I just came to comment this after doing this test and scoring 80+ twice. Went to another site and scored 0. The previously linked site really seems to have some issues with this test.

This one seems to have worked for me: https://www.xrite.com/hue-test
