The evaluation of a color-naming test for color blindness

Abstract

A simple color-naming test for color blindness was developed using the Eastman Color Temperature Meter, and compared with three other color-vision tests: the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-Hue Test, AO Pseudo-Isochromatic Plates, and Freeman Illuminant-Stable Color Vision Test on a sample of 100 Ss. "The data indicated that there was fairly high agreement among the American Optical, Eastman and Freeman tests… . The correlations of the Farnsworth with the other three tests were somewhat lower, indicating that the Farnsworth is apparently measuring factors not measured by the other tests… . It is significant that high correlations were obtained between naming and color competence." (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
