Today, you’ll have another chance to try one of our Phototuts+ quizzes. We’ve got some science for you this week. We’re going to be testing your knowledge of color. It may seem simple, but color might be more complicated than you think. Get crackin’ after the jump! And don’t forget to share you results in the comments.

I was raised in the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio. After high school, I left for Western Kentucky University where I obtained degrees in photojournalism and cultural anthropology. I am currently employed by CityBeat, an arts and entertainment weekly in Cincinnati. The work I am doing here is very rewarding and I suspect it will continue to be. I am available for freelance work in all areas of photography.

Scored 80%. but this quiz is more like High School Physics than Photography
I got 80% too. Missed the ones that were more like physics questions.
I got a B-… missed questions 2, 5, and 12.
Though there is to say that question 8 was glitched up – I don’t know if this is intentional or not, but the correct answer was blatantly obvious (all other options were the same “Click for answer”).
Didn’t do too well there… I got a 53.33%…. Missed questions 2, 5, 6, 9, 11, 12, and 14. Maybe I need to study my science book again….
Seems like the second question is poorly worded. The complimentary color question could have two answers depending on whether you are talking about the way we learned it traditionally in art school (subtractive) or if you are talking about (additive) opposites in RGB. I guessed which one you were going for and got 100%
# 8 was missing the false answers.
73.33% Missed non physics questions
some of the questions were not behaving right
“what does a lens do to light?
click once to select the right option
click once to select the right option
it alters the trajectory of it
click once to select the right option”
i got 53%… ;( sad munkey….
yeah got at 93 because I missed #2 – however the question is not well written. every day, all day long I toil in the photographic RGB color model world where yellow is certainly the complement of blue. from wikipedia:
“Every secondary color is the complement of one primary color; when a primary and its complementary secondary color are added together, the result is white: cyan complements red, magenta complements green, and yellow complements blue.”

Just saying…
Got 86.67% some questions are easy
but i doubt if Q12 answer is green because fluorescent light commonly used has 4500k temp which is blue
I got a 66.67% – considered “acceptable”.
That’s totally a Fail in academic standards…
