Your Gray Vision Could Use Improving
Our color perception comes from billions of neurons interacting and using our vision system to display millions of colors and hues. Gray, being a tricky color with very subtle hues, is one of the most important colors and hues we should be able to distinguish. Make sure your screen is on normal brightness and that your eyes aren't tired - and try again! If not, you can also have a look at the answers by clicking on 'Show My Mistake'.
Your Gray Vision is Good!
You have a normal person's hue detection for the color gray. That is critically important, as many do not have the ability to see very subtle changes in hues, especially men. Thankfully, it seems you have normal vision and a normal ability to detect shades of gray, so you probably don't have any color vision problem - we're happy to report!
Your Gray Sight is Superb!
Wow, you must see like an eagle! Your ability to detect and differentiate between shades of gray is impressive as heck! Many people have a problem with gray because a gray/green colorblindness is very common, especially among men. Gray is such a subtle color, it's challenging to differentiate the shades. You not only have the normal level of gray differentiation but way above average! You must have the ability to see very small changes in hue, which really impressed us. You ACED it!
