There is a certain age when a woman must be beautiful to be loved, and then there comes a time when she must be loved to be beautiful.

Designers: Think you have a good eye for color? Get proof…
How good is your color vision? Arrange these tiles by hue to find your score – http://bit.ly/by7gz8 (based X-Rite’s official FM100 Hue Test).
Brag: I got a perfect score (a zero), which pretty much made my week. Guess the Color Theory class I took in the UC Extension design certificate program a few years ago paid off…. or maybe it was my compulsive color-arranging of clothing, books, and iPhone app icons (practice makes perfect).
Friends who are designers and visual artists seemed to score between 0 and 10. Aesthetically sensitive non-artist friends reported scores between 10 and 25. Share your reactions to the test – and your score if you like – below.

“I like the fact each one is unique and feels a bit flimsy. They seem a bit more precious and people seem to take more care with them.”
