How Well Do You See Color?

My company posted this link to their Facebook page; it's a performance test to assess how well you see color. The test consists of four sets of color swatches, and you have to visually put the swatches in order from hue variance.

I scored a "4", which is a fairly strong ability to see color. How well do you compare? :)
