Farnsworth Munsell 100 Hue Test Kit
Farnsworth Munsell 100 Hue Test Kit
How good are your team at perceiving colours and the variations between them? Find out their colour acuity (also known as colour discrimination) and diagnose any colour deficiencies (colour blindness) with this easy-to-use test kit.
The Farnsworth Munsell 100 Hue Test enables evaluation of how you and your employees discern important colour differences – and where you may have deficiencies or colour blindness. Use the series of 85 colour reference caps in controlled daylight conditions, along with the scoring software, to assess a person’s visual acuity for effective colour evaluation and communication. Fully analyse colour vision for all your in-house and field staff involved with colour-critical operations. Administer under controlled D65 daylight conditions such as provided by VeriVide Light Booths.
It is essential to know that everyone working in a colour assessment or product quality control role has excellent colour vision and acuity. This ability is also extremely useful for anyone involved in colour from design through manufacture and in any industry.
Perfect colour vision is also a requirement for many jobs including airline pilots, train drivers and fire fighters. Having the right people in the right jobs is essential to any business and this simple test helps you ensure your best people are where they need to be when it comes to evaluating colour.
Product is certified for two years after opening after which replacement caps or a new kit are required
