Interesting website to see what you personally perceive as "blue"

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.
