For me turquoise is turquoise.

[–] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Look at you being all fancy with more than five words for colors.

[–] HamsterRage@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

That's me! "Teal", perhaps?

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] undefined@links.hackliberty.org 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, I couldn’t get past this. The turquoise was neither blue nor green but you’re forced to select one or the other.

[–] Bertuccio@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

For you, orange is red!

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Complete opposite of mine. Crazy.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Ixoid@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

I took it three times, with a spread of five points.

[–] RagnarokOnline@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago

Dang, pretty cool

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Turquoise is blue, that's the rule

[–] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Nah I got my own blue.

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] josefo@leminal.space 3 points 2 years ago

got ranges from 177 to 183, which makes sense because hue 180 is exactly cyan

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Given the standards of humour around here, I think my blue is a bit further on than most

[–] federalreverse@feddit.org 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Some East Asians are gonna be very confused by this.

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.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] federalreverse@feddit.org 4 points 2 years ago

Right, that's a better way to put it.

[–] s_s@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Grue and Bleen

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] yournamehere@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

71% blue?!hm.

[–] Tgo_up@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

169 three times in a row.

Seems like my blue/green divider is pretty consistent.
