Is 6 a good color vision score?
At 6, 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. 6 is the standard Average threshold for color vision score. Against the standard benchmarks, your 6 score is 4 points past the Elite cutoff (10), 2 points past the Fast cutoff (8), and exactly at the Average cutoff (6). The neighboring indexed buckets are 4 (Below Average) and 8 (Fast). Take the Color Blind Test to see how your live performance compares.
