🔍 Understanding Results

The test result diagram shows three axes representing different types of color vision deficiencies:

  • Protan Axis (Red) - Difficulties with red-green discrimination, primarily red
  • Deutan Axis (Green) - Difficulties with red-green discrimination, primarily green
  • Tritan Axis (Blue) - Difficulties with blue-yellow discrimination

If your color arrangement follows one of these axes, it may indicate a specific type of color vision deficiency.

💡 Tips for Best Results

  • Use this test in good lighting conditions (natural daylight is best)

  • Take your time - there's no rush to complete the test
