Test Your Color IQ*
Left Brain vs Right Brain Test
A Royal Test
Spinning Wheels
Checker Board

On the color IQ test I scored a 4 the first time. In my category, the best is a 0 and the worst is 1409, so I took it again to see if I could get a perfect score. I came up with a 3 the second time. The blue-greens were my trouble area. Thanks go to Jennifer at Art Words Life for the link.

On the left vs right test found out I can make my brain work both ways!

On the Royal test I made a very good guess. That's all it was, a guess . But interesting answer.

The other two are just plain mind games, but maybe this isn't all just for fun. Color theory and reasoning skills are good things to brush up on. If you want a better understanding how color works, you can read about Josef Albers and color theory here.

The Color of Moonlight

If you're up for an experiment in how we see color, or more importantly how we think we see color, tonight's the night to give it a try! With the full moon, and a handful of different colored swatches of the same value, you can see how your eyes respond to color in moonlight. Be sure to check out James Gurney's post Is Moonlight Blue? for the complete instructions. He also has a very in depth scientific explanation of how all this works. If that's not your thing, just check out the great samples he's posted of how different artists interpret the color of moonlight.
