Ishihara-Style Color Blindness Test — 6 Plates

Six self-drawn Ishihara-style plates with an honest, careful result.

Quick answer: Read six self-drawn Ishihara-style number plates for a quick red-green screening indication at home — honest results that always recommend a professional.

⚠️ Screening indication only — not a diagnosis. Screens shift colors; only an eye-care professional with calibrated plates can diagnose anything.

How Ishihara-style plates work

Each plate hides a digit inside a circle of dots. People with typical red-green vision separate the orange-family figure from the green-family background; red-green color vision differences often blend the two together. The dots are re-drawn randomly every run, so shapes cannot be memorized — color contrast is the only signal. Brightness, screen quality and ambient light all matter, which is one more reason this is a screening indication only: see an eye-care professional for a real exam.

How to use

  1. Look at the first plate and type the number you see.
  2. Press Check & next — or Skip if nothing stands out.
  3. Finish all six plates to see your score and verdict.
  4. Press Retry for brand-new random plates any time.

About this tool

Ishihara-style plates hide a number inside a circle of colored dots: people with typical red-green vision separate the figure from the background, while red-green color vision differences often blend the two together. This page draws six plates live on your screen with fresh random dots every time — orange-family digits against green-family backgrounds, mimicking the classic red-green confusion pair. Type what you see plate by plate, skip any you cannot read, and the page shows your score with a plain-English explanation of what plates can and cannot tell you. It is an educational estimate, not professional advice: screens shift colors, lighting matters, and only a certified eye-care professional with calibrated plates can diagnose anything. Treat a surprising result as a reason to book a real exam.

FAQ

Can this test diagnose color blindness?
No. It is a screening indication only — screens, brightness and rendering vary too much. Diagnosis requires calibrated plates with an eye-care professional.
What do the plates test?
Red-green discrimination, the most common form of color vision difference, using orange-family digits on green-family dot backgrounds.
I missed one plate — am I color blind?
Not necessarily. Screen quality, brightness and viewing angle matter. Miss several, or see nothing on some plates, and a real exam is worthwhile.
Why do the dots change every retry?
Each render generates fresh random dot positions and sizes, so the shapes cannot be memorized — color contrast is the only signal.
Who should take this?
Anyone curious about their vision, parents doing a fun check with kids, or teachers demonstrating how color vision works — followed by a professional exam if anything looks off.
