Is 10 a good color vision score?
At 10, your color vision score is right around the Average band — where most adults score on a calm, focused attempt. Nothing wrong with average; it is the realistic baseline before training kicks in. 10 is the standard Average threshold for color vision score. Against the standard benchmarks, your 10 score is 4 points past the Elite cutoff (14), 2 points past the Fast cutoff (12), and exactly at the Average cutoff (10). The neighboring indexed buckets are 8 (Below Average) and 12 (Fast). Take the Color Blind Test to see how your live performance compares.
