Every single day, human eyes process thousands of colors. But the way you see the green of the leaves on trees might be slightly different than how someone else sees it. If you think your eyes are sharper than others and want to test your sight skills, challenge yourself to this very difficult color test.

Lenstore created an interactive test to see how well various people can perceive color. It’s not as easy as you might think; less than 1 percent of people scored 100 percent. They tested the eyes of 2,000 United Kingdom residents to see which demographics have the strongest color perception. The ten-question quiz tests people’s ability to differentiate between multiple color shades.

After the results came in, they found that the majority of people (24.1 percent) scored six out of ten on the color quiz. Just 23.4 percent got five right, 17.4 percent got seven right, and only 0.2 percent got all ten questions correct. See the full breakdown below.
