I need to win an argument

That's RGB 1, 122, 134.

So while it's slightly more blue than it is green, I would argue that by calling it one or the other, you are cutting yourself off from a whole spectrum of wondrous complexity. Needing to win an argument denies you the subtle beauty of expanding your view of the world, opening your eyes to the possibility that not only is the other side correct, but you are correct as well.

If that was the red-green distribution, no one would be arguing whether it was a greenish-red or a reddish-green, because we all know about yellow. OP's color is teal.

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

[–] DrBob@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That's just part of the fun. The colours are based RGB values so they are what they are.

#007A85 Blue -133 Green- 122 So, I'd have to say more Blue

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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.

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.

There. </thread>

Learn some colour vocabulary, my esteemed internet posters.

Green. I often have the same argument about my jacket

Wait, I had "night light" on. It's blue.

Try this with our friend.

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.

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 15 points 1 year ago

It's called teal when it's between green and blue because of this very type of argument.

[–] dave881@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago
[–] __nobodynowhere@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's Windows 9x teal

Edit: or maybe Logitech trackball teal

That's windows 98 background colour isn't it? That is 0x008080 so it is literally, by definition, half blue and half green.

E: I pulled out the colour picker and it's 0x017a86 so not quite win98 background, and therefore very slightly blue

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 9 points 1 year ago

That's teal, which is blue.

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 8 points 1 year ago

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago
[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 1 year ago

It's a blue-heavy teal.

[–] iii@mander.xyz 8 points 1 year ago
[–] CurlyWurlies4All@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 year ago

To me it looks more teal blue than teal green.

[–] azvasKvklenko@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

[–] myedition8@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago
