I need to win an argument
You and your friend can both do the test above and see exactly where your breakpoints are.
eta: I’ll show you mine…
The problem was that for some colors i would say its blue and they would say its green, but for other colors i would say its green and they would say its blue
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That’s just part of the fun. The colours are based RGB values so they are what they are.
Damn, I got 174 and it just called me true neutral.
nice site. going to test it in my monitor this nite
This annoys me. It keeps showing me cyan, but only giving me the options of green or blue. Cyan is neither. It’s freaking cyan! It’s a subtractive primary colour!
(Don’t get me started on art teachers insisting the primary colours for paint are red, yellow and blue. Naff off with that crap. Go look at printer ink, then naff right off again.)
#007A85 Blue -133 Green- 122 So, I’d have to say more Blue
This is the scientifically correct answer. Any other observance should be chalked up to differing displays, color temp settings, or just differing color reception in a person’s eyes. Numerically, it’s more blue. Blue Lagoon specifically.
It’s a good example of how to explain Intelligence vs Wisdom in RPG’s. An intelligent person knows how to find the correct answer. A wise person knows it’s best to sometimes avoid debating opinions with their spouse.
I once had a guy on a livestream arguing with me that the color I was using in a graphic was orange and needed to be red. I calmly told him, I am using red. He got angry that I kept telling him it was red. I finally pulled up the color picker and showed him 255 0 0. As red as red can get. He continued to argue. I ignored him. Some people are just fools who can’t be wrong. Better to leave them be or they’ll drag you down to their level.
That also depends on the color accuracy of your device.
We know what the intent of the color was now but not what is actually displayed.
This is Dark Teal
Is this black or white?
White
It’s red, green, blue, and black at the microscopic level.
Teal
We’re blue, we’re green, we’re something in between.
you’re both wrong it’s turquoise
It’s teal
The argument was if a color could be both green and blue at the same time
But this is 100% blue
It’s CYAN. Teal and turquoise are shades of cyan. Cyan is a primary color. This post is like asking if yellow is red or green.
It’s definitely yellow.
But, for real, OP is having a struggle with it for this reason.
If something is 50% G and 50% B, it is neither one or the other. It’s exactly where C sits. If it is 75% G and 25% B, you could say it’s green. But if I asked if it’s green or cyan, we’ll have the same issue again, sinc it’s. 50% G and 50% C.
OP gotta learn their colour spectrum a bit more.
Cyan is a primary color when working subtractively, but for additive color the primaries are RGB. Since this is on a screen, green and blue would be the relevant primaries
So is yellow, red or green; is magenta, red or blue?
Are we talking additive or subtractive color? If additive then yellow is the secondary of green and red, and magenta the secondary of blue and red
As its RGB values are 017A86 it’s actually 52.55% blue.
if this is blue you gotta check ur monitors color calibration
dark cyan
It’s teal.
There.
</thread>Learn some colour vocabulary, my esteemed internet posters.
Tourqoise which means more into blue than teal would be
But what im seeing may be influenced by display settings, we all are probably looking at slightly different colours.
Turquoise
It’s teal.
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.
This is definitely more blue than green, but it’s a dark cyan or turquoise. Calling it blue or green implies otherwise.
It’s called teal when it’s between green and blue because of this very type of argument.
Teal
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.
