During the last decade, computer-controlled raster displays have been widely used to identify congenital and acquired deficits of colour vision. In such tests, the subject is commonly asked to detect a target spot or a grating, and the chromaticity of the target is modulated along varying axes of colour space. The chief advantage of such tests is that the depth of chromatic modulation can be dynamically and quantitatively adjusted according to the patient’s performance. The chief disadvantage lies in the difficulty of ensuring that the patient does not detect the target by edge artefacts or by differences in luminosity between target and field. To eliminate these difficulties, we have borrowed two ploys from the designers of the original pseudoisochromatic plates: first, the target is formed from discrete patches, each having its own contour, and second, the luminances of the patches are varied randomly rather than being equated. For a group of subjects, performance on the new test has been compared with performance on the Nagel anomaloscope, the Ishihara plates, and the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-hue test. The test is rapid to administer, it separates protan and deutan types with high reliability, and it gives a quantitative measure of colour discrimination. However, we draw attention to a third ploy that is embodied in some of the Ishihara plates, and this principle could be used in a modified version of the present test.
