does anyone else have trouble reading the ammonia color on the test kit...it has never been 0 for me always a small tint of green..the others read true but for some reason this one bugs me cause its not perfect yellow.
 
Same here...I dont know if its my lighting or what but mine is always a color bw the 0ppm color and .25ppm color lol!
 
you will definitely know its yellow when you see it.

Small tint of green is really 0.25.

hope you guys haven't been seeing green for over 1 month
 
Try being color blind and reading those charts. I have to get a family consensus. Between my wife and two daughters... Ha!.... good luck getting everyone to agree on anything (laff)!

Hanna checkers are a wonderful tool if you're colorblind.

I'm partial color blind and definitely can't tell light green from yellow
