A new online tool to detect color misconceptions

In this work, we present an online test designed to ascertain what type of misconceptions people may have about color perception. It is noteworthy that only 15.7% of the over 20,000 respondents answered correctly, and that the vast majority (78.2%) of incorrect response patterns on our test matched to just four sequences, corresponding with four types of misconceptions.
