Simple, right? Just count the bands of different colours in this picture. Disregard compression artifacts. Do it visually (as in, don't inspect the numerical values of the pixels - that doesn't work anymore because jpg). Bands not near each other can be assumed to be of unequal colour (it's a rainbow).

I'll go first because OP: 37
Mhhh 37 too :P Some biband of color, but it is pretty much seeingable.
I think I see 39. Is this a test to check your monitor calibration?
Nah its an eye test. like if so see a low amount (like 20 or something) you have 2 different cones, around 30 three and 35+ four.
There are 39 total, so just subtract the number of doubles from it. Though i'm fairly sure it doesn't work at all.
Also fyi this test was already on 9gag an the like a few months ago :P
Mhhhh four cones people must be girl (with one parent having daltonism) as I know so ... :P There is problem somewhere...
EDIT : and they see more color in yellow.

My dad has daltonism, but as far as I know I'm not a girl :P Anyway, how could a test that checks for 4 colours even work on a monitor that only has 3 base colours?
Yeah. It would need a 4 colors monitor :P
Maybe it tests tranparency :trollface:
With a jpeg? Yeah, right XD
I'm colorblind, so :(
Yeah, im a bit colorblind too. Yet i can see like 36 colors.

Girls are less exposed to Daltonism/color blindness because the gene that causes it is a recessive gene on the X chromosome. Females have two, so they have a backup. I also know tetrachromats are mostly female for the same X chromosome reason but I forgot the exact explanation.
Anyway not counting the colors when I can see smooth gradients. :P
Effectively it tests monitor calibration as well as your eyes of course, and old 6-bit LCDs would be at a significant disadvantage..
Also the test is probably bullc, but who cares right
Hehe yeah, the test is definitely bullc with jpeg compression.
I count something like 40. But even without the bad JPEG compression artefacts, this test is bad and you should feel bad.
I recommend this test, which is way better: http://www.xrite.com/online-color-test-challenge (I got 0 once!)
I got like 50 O.O
And that test would take a long time O.O
Is it normal if I see 43? O.O
On a side note there was a web game where you had to order colors properly and it was quite cool to test how well you could see colors.

Seems legit, there are only 39 colors :P (counting the errors in the jpeg doesn't count <_<)
Is there an uncompressed version of this around?

That's the one I linked.
I tried the color challenge in Harold's post from a computer this time and I got 37. I guess the filtering that smartphones use made it look like it had more colors on my Nexus 5.
