The various types and degrees of defective colour vision are discussed, leading to many different kinds of tests, which may be valuable and successful for certain purposes but less so for others. Special tests are required for dyers and colour blenders, where even a slight variation from normal colour vision is quite an important matter. The Wain test, which has been developed on the basis of metameric matches, is claimed to be extremely sensitive for this purpose.
