50% for me, yet I know I can sort D,E,F in real life because I've done it before in a shop.

I think what this demonstrates is why colour is graded face down - it is hard to not be distracted by contrast patterns darkening the look of a stone.

True, I thought about that too. A good cut uses light like a concealer.

60% for me too. I find it harder to sort them face up. My average was 40.8 - so all of you PSers good at color are moving the average up! :lol:

60% I agree the middle grade were the most difficult to discern, even with the screen brightness turned up. But that was fun, thanks for sharing this!

Not shocking, I love all my stones, ranging from F to , and don't see big differences in them.
But I'd like to try it again on my desktop, a much bigger screen, and in a room that is much better lit. Maybe tomorrow

yeah- so true. Face up (and well, photographs) is probably not the best guideline...

but yeah- some people probably drove the average up a little. It was 40.XX (something) when I tried it.

75% for me. I struggled a little in the middle grades. The high and low ends were much easier.

I got 60%, which really surprised me. I’m not at all colour sensitive, or maybe I just don’t mind colour in diamonds.

50% I agree the midranges were tricky.

60%... better than I expected. Even though this exercise is kind of pointless other than to demonstrate how hard it is discern colors when looking face-up.

You have to move the diamond up or down (from more colorless at the top to most tinted at bottom).

@missy Could it be the ladies of Pricescope (and gentlemen) are color sensitive <3 ?
This was mine when it started.

@Snowdrop13 I bet your ACA is bright face forward <3

Looks like we're all getting different "averages"... mine said average was 41.4% (maybe they're adjusting as more ppl take the quiz? Looks like PS is increasing it!) LOL

I would imagine it keeps a running total and our merry band of test-takers has changed things a bit. :clap:

Took it again and got 35% again o_O

By the way, my stones range from F to K. I know, proofread, before hitting "reply"
