Green. I often have the same argument about my jacket

Wait, I had "night light" on. It's blue.

Try this with our friend.

I did two runs, the first ended at 177 (three more greens than 76%of respondents), the second at 174 (the exact median). I think the methodology is flawed, there's a little randomness at the threshold so you need to gather more data to be certain of a person's perception. You'll see that the same hue can seem bluer when it follows a strong green, or greener when it follows a weak green.

Edit: did a third run, this time staring at a white wall for 5 seconds between each color and responding as quickly as possible. Got 170, way over in the green. A lot of it looked like a pale blue sky.

It’s Windows 95

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

It's a blue-heavy teal.

's clearly blue.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

a tad more blue than green to me

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

It's my favorite color, that's what it is

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

This is definitely more blue than green, but it's a dark cyan or turquoise. Calling it blue or green implies otherwise.

False

Aka I wouldn't call it green and wouldn't call it blue. If you mean to what color it's more similar, it feels a bit blueish, but very slightly.

Also your surroundings to which your vision is adapted will probably affect your perception.

The RGB value for this color seems to be:

(0,122,133)

As such, it is slightly more blue than green, if that helps you win your argument. If not, you can just say it's "bluegreen" and only be half wrong.

In some languages both green and blue are considered the same color, so grue

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

To me it looks more teal blue than teal green.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago
[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

That's teal, which is blue.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Beige, it's beige
