Interesting website to see what you personally perceive as “blue”

Kinda wondering if you’d get different results for using a different display (especially of different technology)

This what I got from two consecutive tests anyways (weird that the percentage is different)

Your boundary is at hue 168, greener than 81% of the population. For you, turquoise is blue.

Your boundary is at hue 168, greener than 85% of the population. For you, turquoise is blue.

I got 176 on both phone and monitor.

The percentage is based on how many people have used the thing, so if it is suddenly popular and a lot more runs are completed it can shift the percentage.

Ohh now it makes sense, thanks

Definitely different depending on your screens. I tried it on my desktop monitor, which is fairly decently calibrated, and I got 192 (quite high - bluer than 98% of pop. at the time). It was basically impossible not to notice any hint of green tinge in the background. On my phone, I got 171 (bluer than 68% pop. at the time). I took the tests back to back.

I moved the window between my two desktop monitors just now, and my second monitor is not only older tech, but it’s also not color-calibrated at all (or calibrated poorly). A lot of the greener-looking colors on my more accurate monitor looked sky blue on the other monitor.

Edit: eh… I just took it on my phone again and got 192 this time lol. It’s probably because the colors close to the boundary don’t fit into blue or green for me, I’d rather be able to select both/none. Being forced the choose one kinda makes it subjective to how I’m feeling about it at the time. But I know that’s not really the point of this test.

Depending on how shit your screen is, you’ll even get a different result depending on how far above or below you it is.

My IPS is fine, my cheap LCD second screen shows a gradient from green to cyan for most of it.

That screen cost me a whopping £30 from CEX. They said it had dead pixels on one side, but on closer inspection, it appears to be either ink or blood.

It’s a CEX in a small town.

I’m not assuming anything other than whatever money was handed over by the store for this thing was rapidly exchanged for the smallest available quantity of heroin from a local dealer.

Shoot, I got significantly different results from two consecutive tests on the same device. I suspect the sequence of colors affects perception, too.

In my first run, I perceived greater differences between the sequential colors and I got a couple that were in the extremes, and got around 65% (I don’t recall the hue number). The second run, many colors were only a little different from their predecessors, and I didn’t get any really obviously blue or green - they were all subtle variations of turquoise, and I scored at 76% (177).

Your boundary is at hue 185, bluer than 94% of the population. For you, turquoise is green.

Funny because I what I call turquoise is what I call blue. The example they gave was too green in my mind.

Actually hard, because I use to distinguish Cyan from Green and Blue, so categorizing it to either blue or green was a bit difficult

I don’t think turquoise and cyan are the same color. Are you saying you do?

Yup, maybe because of computer graphics; I tend to consider Cyan, Turquoise and Teal as some kind of synonyms (or really similar to eachother); ususally I call it when there is almost as much green as blue “Cyan”

When looking at definitions, there are not the same colors, but are still all different shades of Green and Blue (I don’t personnaly recognize them well, so I consider them with the same name; like people call them Green or Blue here)

My rainbow wheel be like: Red - Orange - Yellow - Green - Cyan - Blue - Purple - Magenta - Red

Like for the pixels on your screen are RGB = Red, Green & Blue; and the paint in Inkjet printers are CYMK (Cyan, Yellow, Magenta, blacK)

Yeah, particularly digital to print graphics, working with CMYK had a similar effect on me.

If you start out with the primaries and keep mixing to get the hues between you’ll end up with 6, then 12, and then 24 hues at the quaternary level. Orange is a tertiary color with it’s opposite being Azure.

Ah. Teal/Turquoise are the same to me: a blue green. Cyan is a neon light blue.

Cyan, #00FFFF: https://www.canva.com/colors/color-meanings/cyan/

Turquoise, #30D5C8: https://www.canva.com/colors/color-meanings/turquoise/

Test is flawed. Does not allow for demilitarized zone between blue and green!

This leads to blueward expansion by green and a preemptive war by blue!
