Color Test for Kids
Same idea, no numbers. Your child taps the shape they see hiding in the dots — a circle, square, triangle, or heart.
8 plates · shapes instead of numbers · a screening game, not a diagnosis.
Look at each circle of dots and tap the shape you see hiding inside. Ready?
Some circles won't have a shape for most people — tapping “I can't see a shape” is a perfectly good answer, not a mistake.
Best on a phone or laptop at full screen brightness. Keyboard: press a number key, or Enter if you can't see one.
For parents
Color vision deficiency is inherited and present from birth, so children often don't realize they see color differently — they simply learn the "wrong" names for some colors. Early screening can help at school, where color-coded materials are common.
- Sit with your child and let them point or tap — no pressure, no timer race.
- If they consistently miss the shapes but get the easy control plates, it's worth mentioning to your pediatrician or an optometrist.
- This is a friendly first check, not a clinical exam.
