    Colour vision assessment in low vision children remains as a big challenge to clinician. The current available colour vision (CV) tests are not friendly administered to low vision (LV) children and CV test is not part of vision screening in school children. This study was conducted to pilot a new way of assessing LV children’s colour status. A modified technique was compared to the standard of AO HRR (American Optical Hardy Rand Rittler) and D15 (Farnsworth D15) colour vision tests available in the market. A total of 15 subjects were participated in this study with the (Mean age: 10.0; SD: 2.204) with majority of (46.7%) age range of 7-9 years old. A total of 100% of the subjects participated accordingly to the instruction given and the examination were continue to assess throughout the data collection. Out of 15 students, 80% (n=12) students shows positive outcome for modified method under psychological characteristics control. Out of 12 students, 100% of students (n=12), fixate their eyes while testing both the standard and modified AO HRR, 60% (n=7) were happy with standard method, 73.3% (n=9) were happy with modified method, and 53.3% (n=6) answered correctly to standard method and 66.7% (n=8) to modified AO HRR testing method. 93.3% students (n=11), fixate their eyes while testing standard D15 method, and 100% (n=12) fixate in modified method. 80% (n=10) were happy with standard method, 73.3% (n=9) were happy with modified method, and 67.7% (n=8) answered correctly for both standard and modified D15 testing method. Using Child Affective Facial Expression (CAFÉ) set, the low vision children’s expression were assessed. The psychological characteristics of AO HRR and Farnsworth D15 for standard and modified colour vision testing method is p = 0.003 and p = 0.007 respectively. Both the testing method shows a significant relationship with no difference, but low vision children’s psychological characteristics is much controlled in modified testing method.
