This is really dumb. You only find me 2 options i dont agree with either one. Should be green teal tourquoise and blue as options.

[–] Bongles@lemm.ee 1 points 10 hours ago

I tried it on both of my monitors and it was wildly different. Clearly my main monitor is a little too blue

This is cool, however I don't like that the result is a fixed value. I don't think a person could take this test and reliably get the same result. This would be a good situation to use a logistic regression.

[–] Ixoid@lemm.ee 4 points 20 hours ago

I took it three times, with a spread of five points.

Turquoise is blue, that's the rule

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 12 points 1 day ago

I think that contrast is a big part of this that isn't really controlled for. During the test, the colors took up my whole screen, so against the black bezel of my phone in my dimly lit room they seemed to look more blue. But at the end when it says "For you, turquoise [color swatch] is blue", that color swatch was against a white background, and in that context it looked more green to me.

For me turquoise is turquoise.

[–] undefined@links.hackliberty.org 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, I couldn’t get past this. The turquoise was neither blue nor green but you’re forced to select one or the other.

[–] Bertuccio@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

For you, orange is red!

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

For the same reason it was honestly really hard for me to do that test. It was like those personality surveys where I don't like any of the options, but I have to pick one

[–] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Look at you being all fancy with more than five words for colors.

[–] HamsterRage@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

That's me! "Teal", perhaps?

[–] SuperSpruce@lemmy.zip 4 points 20 hours ago

This is exactly what I got. Interesting.

[–] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Complete opposite of mine. Crazy.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I think it mostly comes down to whether or not you call certain colours a "greeny blue" or a "bluey green" I'm much more inclined to say the former for the colours on between the two

[–] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Bluey green squad.

[–] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Had my wife take the test on the same device

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

177 hue, bluer than 75% for me.

I wonder if sitting in front of a blue-hued monitor a lot has an effect? Default color temps tend to skew pretty blue

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

176 here, the screen is surely doing a part, also environing colors do change the perception too.

[–] ganksy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I was 177 too! It makes perfect sense that it should be at the middle of the two colors not buried in green.

Dang, pretty cool

[–] josefo@leminal.space 3 points 1 day ago

got ranges from 177 to 183, which makes sense because hue 180 is exactly cyan

[–] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

Weirdly, it's nothing to do with how color forms in our brain (the actual 'my blue your blue' thing), only what we call it. So it's mainly semantics.

Cool website nevertheless.

177 first try, 176 second. By the last frame each time I had to really think hard whether it was bluey-green or greeny-blue

[–] federalreverse@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Some East Asians are gonna be very confused by this.

[–] federalreverse@feddit.org 5 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

The funny thing about colors is that they're largely defined in culture and you only see different colors if you've been educated to see them. In China and I believe also in most other East Asian cultures, blue and green are traditionally regarded as the same thing.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

small correction: everyone sees basically the same colours (barring stuff like colour blindness), what changes is whether we consider it a colour. Brown is the best example, most people consider it a separate colour but it's just orange with brighter stuff around it.

[–] federalreverse@feddit.org 3 points 17 hours ago

Right, that's a better way to put it.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Nah I got my own blue.

Given the standards of humour around here, I think my blue is a bit further on than most

[–] yournamehere@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

71% blue?!hm.
