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.

    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.

      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.)

      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.

    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.

    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.
