    That was difficult Mandy, after a while all the colours start to mingle and you can't differentiate. Probably means I am a magnolia and white gloss type of person :(

    I scored 84. That's a bit rubbish, isn't it?

    4 first time, 0 second time: assuming you have normal colour vision,I'd say the score is highly dependent on how long you spend fiddling with the thing, rather than any particular skill. Don't worry, Madahlia, some people got over 1000!

      I scored 7 on the test. Remember the test said '0' was the highest score not the lowest. :)

      Clueless, you can narrow the colours down a bit. By which way the room faces.

      If it faces north and east you should use warmer colours, not blues and greens. If it faces south and west you should use cooler colours.

      You could also paint just one wall in a deeper colour.

      These two rooms I've done recently. The pink is in a room that faces south east. The gold is in a room that faces north West. The stronger colours are on one wall.

        Clueless, you are digging your self a very deep hole!

        What ever you do, don't be the one to decide. Just quote this.... "As beautiful and intelligent woman and wife, you are much better suited to choosing colours and furnishings." Even lay it on about how as a mere male your opinion would not do the colours or room justice.
        It'll be the only way that you will get out of the situation alive and intact. You could be paying the price for years to come.

          I got 12 on the test - emailed the link to Mr. F'smum saying I found the 'blue to mauve' the more difficult and received the reply ..... "Which line was that?"

          I said he was colour blind!!
