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!
As cool as this is, it would somewhat depend on how accurate the display you're looking at it on is. The same person might get different results on different displays.
No, its Turquoise.
Yeah the phrasing on this is odd. If turquoise (or cyan) is an even mix of blue and green, this is really a test to determine how closely you can identify when blue and green have a 50-50 mix.
IIRC if you trace the etymology of it you'd see it means something like "Turkish blue".
Japanese people: these are both 青
Is this bad
That just means that you are correct
From About on site:
Who made this?
I'm Patrick Mineault, a neuroscience and AI researcher. I made this as a side project using Claude 3.5 Sonnet. I obtained a PhD in visual neuroscience from McGill in 2014. You can read my blog here.
Love it. Need more silly things like this!
Oh, and
I am color blind and they all started to look the same after about the 3rd one.
Also colorblind. It looks like the overwhelming majority of people are wrong about blue!
Tbh there's a wide range I could say it's blue or green.
I'm the opposite. For me there's a wide gap. Because I just think turquoise for everything in the middle.
Your boundary is at hue 189, bluer than 98% of the population. For you, turquoise is green.
I was a graphic designer. I'm picky about colors. Color names are pretty much useless as demonstrated by this site. It's why we use things like the Pantone matching system. Both to pick colors that don't have names, and to have a standard to match printed output to.
Colors can be, and are, spec'ed by CMYK, RGB, and Hex values, but those values don't guarantee the colors will match. Monitors and printing presses of various types all output color differently. Screen printing a shirt, is different from CMYK printing on an offset printer, and printing on a laser printer. They'll all produce slightly different, or sometimes very different, results for the same values input.
For printing, a spot color is often used, that is, a specific color of ink, say Coca-Cola Red, that is mixed and added as a fifth color to the usual CMYK plates. That way the color is guaranteed to match. Fabric dyes are also custom mixed, of course.
A physical, printed book, like a Pantone swatch book, or even a color card produced by the company, is the only way to check how close the color is. And, there are acceptable ranges depending on the product, someone at, say, Coca-Cola, decides whether a color produced is close enough. They understand there are variances due to technology. "Close enough", though, will always be very damn close for a larger company, but not necessarily perfect. They don't fuck around with their branding.
Spot color is specific you the brand being printed, right?
"Your boundary is at hue 174, greener than 55% of the population. For you, turquoise is blue." tbf, a lot of these were on the fence for me. there should be an "even distribution" button for when you can't rightly decide.
also, i have brown hazel eyes and am male (cis, biological). I wonder how this skews for women, as they have naturally better chromoperception, and eye color because I've heard that darker eye colors add a touch of saturation by absorbing more defractive light.
can we get a reverse engineered site where it uses other color gradients? This looks like it could have taken some one 45 minutes to code with some CSS and a PERL script.
Wouldn’t this very much depend how color accurate your screen is?
Color accuracy is not even close to consistent between screens and manufacturers.
Yes. Really only good to do as compared to someone else physically in room with you. Ambient lighting could make a difference too. Nonetheless curious how much variance people's scores are across devices.
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.
I routinely disagree with people about whether things are pink/purple or blue/green.
I will tell myself "language is for communicating, this color is called pink by everybody else, I should remember that", no use.
It's a strange quirk of language and perception.
I got the exact same result as OP.
Interestingly, I tried it on a Korean friend, and they got 194. Koreans are always calling colors I consider green, blue.
Wait..I got that backwards
Had a blue light filter on...
This is a hard test because most of the colours presented don't look green or blue, is like a perfect blend, and hard to answer
and also influenced by the previous color.
Yeah. I saw cyan and to me, that's neither green nor blue.
It ends with "For you turquoise is ___". Turquoise is turquoise. If I had to choose, I guess it's blue, and so my line is gonna be between turquoise and green, but it's actually turquoise. But I can see an argument for turquoise being green.
Ultimately, it seems like the actual question the test answers is "If you had to choose, do you consider turquoise to be blue or green?"
This is useless: different screens will show colours differently, so your blue will change from screen to screen. How can you compare results with people who have different screens?
It notes that in the about section; it's not an accurate test. It's more of a fun bar game where you pass the phone around then argue about who's a blue purist.
This is like showing me endless pictures of cows and asking me "is this a fish or a bird"? No. No it fucking isn't.
Hue 163. I feel like the inbetweens i would generally call turquoise rather than blue though, just that turquoise does firmly fall under blue for me if being less specific.
I wonder if this is partially cultural.
It says I see turquoise as blue but the turquoise swatch they use looks green to me, so I dunno.
I'm blue, da-ba-dee, da-ba-di
I draw the line at aquamarine, aqua means water and water is blue, marine relates to water and water is blue.
I can't use it on my phone since the buttons are under the Firefox UI. 🙁
Got true neutral. No idea what that implies.
Same. Means we're normal I guess lol
My wife complained that her definitions are skewed because of Tiffany Blue, which probably should not be called that.
My boundaries is at hue 180. I don't remember my result from last time but neither do I remember my screen settings.
The thing is name of color depend on the language, frontiers and inbetweens varie from individual even in a given language.
In french, I would refer to "turquoise" as a light blue having yellow in it but not enough to be consider green. But I also use "vert turquoise" to describe a light blue that have just enough yellow to be considered a green.
I feel like in english "turquoise" refers to this second color rather than the first. I always feels like what is presented to my in english as "turquoise" has more yellow than a french "turquoise" but again. I would sometimes say "bleu turquoise" refering to that french "turquoise" to disambiguate from two very close hue which are to me two different colors.
I was here two years ago! Love this site.
