Abstract
This paper describes a relatively quick and inexpensive test for estimating chromatic thresholds using Munsell papers of various hues and chromas placed on a black background. Each test plate contains 2 gray disks and 3 disks of the same hue and value, but of different chroma, surrounding a reference gray disk. Patients are asked to identify which of the 5 disks match the reference gray. Preliminary results suggest that this test may be more sensitive than the D-15 in detecting discrimination losses of congenital red-green color defective subjects and of value in detecting losses due to ocular disease processes.
