Look at you being all fancy with more than five words for colors.
That's me! "Teal", perhaps?
For the same reason it was honestly really hard for me to do that test. It was like those personality surveys where I don't like any of the options, but I have to pick one
Yeah, I couldn’t get past this. The turquoise was neither blue nor green but you’re forced to select one or the other.
For you, orange is red!
I think that contrast is a big part of this that isn't really controlled for. During the test, the colors took up my whole screen, so against the black bezel of my phone in my dimly lit room they seemed to look more blue. But at the end when it says "For you, turquoise [color swatch] is blue", that color swatch was against a white background, and in that context it looked more green to me.
This is exactly what I got. Interesting.
Complete opposite of mine. Crazy.
I think it mostly comes down to whether or not you call certain colours a "greeny blue" or a "bluey green" I'm much more inclined to say the former for the colours on between the two
Bluey green squad.
This is cool, however I don't like that the result is a fixed value. I don't think a person could take this test and reliably get the same result. This would be a good situation to use a logistic regression.
I took it three times, with a spread of five points.
Dang, pretty cool
Turquoise is blue, that's the rule
Weirdly, it's nothing to do with how color forms in our brain (the actual 'my blue your blue' thing), only what we call it. So it's mainly semantics.
Cool website nevertheless.
Nah I got my own blue.
got ranges from 177 to 183, which makes sense because hue 180 is exactly cyan
Some East Asians are gonna be very confused by this.
Why?
The funny thing about colors is that they're largely defined in culture and you only see different colors if you've been educated to see them. In China and I believe also in most other East Asian cultures, blue and green are traditionally regarded as the same thing.
small correction: everyone sees basically the same colours (barring stuff like colour blindness), what changes is whether we consider it a colour. Brown is the best example, most people consider it a separate colour but it's just orange with brighter stuff around it.
Right, that's a better way to put it.
Grue and Bleen
Given the standards of humour around here, I think my blue is a bit further on than most
177 first try, 176 second. By the last frame each time I had to really think hard whether it was bluey-green or greeny-blue
71% blue?!hm.
I tried it on both of my monitors and it was wildly different. Clearly my main monitor is a little too blue
This is really dumb. You only find me 2 options i dont agree with either one. Should be green teal tourquoise and blue as options.
169 three times in a row.
Seems like my blue/green divider is pretty consistent.
