Thank Liz I have never heard of this test, but I will look into it tracey Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2010 05:31:51 -0700 From: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [OCC-HEALTH] Shade testing To: [log in to unmask] Dear Tracey As others have suggested, I suspect that good colour perception is required for researchers (and most likely those in quality assurance/control too) in the cosmetics industry. The Ishihara test only will check for red/green deficiency whereas Farnsworth-Munsell D-15 / 100 Hue assesses the whole spectrum. This test uses 15 coloured discs which have to be matched as close as possible to the one before it so creating a sequence of colours/shades which is then plotted on a chart.

One our customers ( cosmetics) has just asked us to carry out shade testing on their research employees. I must admit I have never heard to this before and done an internet search with no avail. I would apprecaite if anyone from the list could provide me with further information Thanks in advance Tracey ******************************** Please remove this footer before replying.
