Two years ago i shared this website where you try and determine when a shade is either blue or green.
Posting it again because lemmy has grown quite a bit since then, maybe we have more people that havent tried it!

I'm gonna be that guy and point out that there is no way the population stat is accurate when color reproduction on screens varies so much. (I got a similar 87%)
Also the first colour calibrates you by being clearly green or blue. If I start with green, the next colour it shows me looks blue in comparison and visa versa.
Agreed, but it's fun to use in person with someone else.
could be ever a true neutral monitor?
Let me check the rulebook
There are apparently very expensive monitors that are designed to be more accurate. I wouldn't know. I'm fine with my hand-me-down 1080 I got for cheap.
Lots of monitors can calibrated. Expensive ones will provide a way to do it properly (e.g. puck and software.)
Once upon a time I had a Viewsonic monitor that had a Pantone calibration card. Very nice monitor. Not terribly expensive but more than middle of the road.
The test would work on any monitor as long as everyone is taking the same test on the same screen.
Over the span of time it would take to check the entire population, the backlights or LEDs or OLEDs would start to wear out, slowly affecting the results. 😅
Yeah, that's right, but the main problem that I see with that is that those people will be biased from the "real" green or "blue". I checked the site, and it says that a lot of other factors can affect how people perceive its monitor light.
