    It said I have perfect color vision, but I'm far from elite.

    That was hard, though.

    @Shinta: it's from 0 (perfect) to like 2k (worst)?!.

    Might depend on the colour accuracy of your monitor though. I've learned that my cheap Compaq monitor from like 2006 turns out to be pretty damn good aside from some gamma imperfections.

    A lot of the boxes seemed to be in the right places after I moved all the similar colours randomly to either side though, maybe that helped me out a bit.

    edit: I'm guessing your score reflects your number of errors?

    A lower score is better, with ZERO being the perfect score. The bars above show the regions of the color spectrum where hue discrimination is low.

    4 errors in between greenish and yellowish, but closer to the green.

    Not sure this is such a bad idea, but they're masking cell phone towers as trees in South Africa. I think they could at least make it a native tree so it blends in better:

    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    Nothing blends in when it's the only tall structure standing out like that, with each looking all weird and shit. What they should do is make it architecturally pleasing and just standardise them across the nation. Sure, they'll stick out, they'll be recognisable.. but at least they'll be pleasing and glossed over.

    Now it looks strange and begs your attention while pretending not to be ugly. Someone came up with an interesting idea and didn't bother refining it.

    Attaching shit to existing towers is cheap though, I'll give you that.

    When the Japanese notice this, they will refine the idea by masking their towers to look like giant robots.

    Americans could just add a big eye of Sauron on top of every tower since that's what the towers are used for anyway in the land of freedom.

    No, ours are ridiculously ugly. On the east coast, they're always pine trees...the only pine "tree" in the area too. Typically seen on US Interstate highways. They look like sequoias (wrong side of the Rockies!) with 90% of the branches missing and with liver-brown paint on the "trunks".

    I vastly prefer a plain metal tower with red paint on the top parts of it, or the shorter ones that just look like highway lighting.

    That's just weird.

    But definitely a swing from the overly-metallic-and-polluted flying car aesthetic of the future that people usually anticipate. It actually makes more sense that people who live in highly industrialized areas would want to camouflage that with an illusion of nature and the idyll. At the moment it's a bit uncanny valley, though.

    One of the main reasons they look like that is probably due to functionality and cost, but I wonder if an architect can redesign them to make them more aesthetic in an urban environment...

    Not sure if this is the right place for this, but the whole skinny Hollywood thing is getting out of hand. Look at how skinny Olivia Wilde has become:

    It's the dress she's wearing. The side panels create an optical illusion due to the contrast. They're pretty popular among Hollywood types these past couple years. Cover the left half of her body with your thumb or hand or whatever and look at the more shaded side of her body where the contrast is less. She's not very curvy. It's about the same as she looked in House or Tron Legacy.

    I'm not ashamed to say that I read Yahoo Shine/omg from time to time when I'm bored. edit: Kristen Aldridge ftw.

    She's still skinny, but it isn't even remotely worrying. She has a boyish or nearly-waif figure.

    the illusion dress does wonders, the black cat dress is horrible.
