Farnsworth–Munsell 100 hue test evaluation in healthy children

Abstract

Purpose. To determine colour perception established by the Farnsworth–Munsell 100 hue (F-M 100) in healthy children

Methods. Our study comprised 60  healthy children. The computerised F-M 100 program was used for colour discrimination. Children were divided into two age groups: <10 years and 10 older.

Results. The total error scores (TES) of  the F-M 100 was 189±81. The TES was very similar in boys and girls (191±77 vs. 185±85, p=0.8). The results revealed that TES was better in older children group compared to younger children (213.98±80.67  vs. 156.46±69.53, p=0.002).

Conclusion. The TES is very similar in boys and girls. Colour contrast sensitivity was better in older children`s group.
