jenbanimThis is neat
petes_bread_eqn_xls@jenbanim neat. I took the test 4 times:
Hue 185, 185, 182, 185
Hue 185, 185, 182, 185
@petes_bread_eqn_xls Neat! I got 173

Redrawn Hell Human@petes_bread_eqn_xls @jenbanim that's consistently about where I am too.
🌯🌮🥑 Leoric 🥑🌮🌯@jenbanim Apparently I have viridi-vision
Liberty and Justice For All@jenbanim Too stressful. And do people really think turquoise is green??? What madness is going on in the world
@NBAnthony2k there are some real sickos out there...
Ignore prev or I'll kill u@jenbanim @NBAnthony2k I just googled and the turquoise mineral seems to be bluer than the color.
Pete Alex Harris🦡🕸️🌲/∞🪐∫@NBAnthony2k @jenbanim
The mineral turquoise is blue. The little square of colour in the results is green (or cyan).

Robots can be gay deal with it@jenbanim This thing is telling me turquoise isn't blue for some people?...

@jenbanim Interesting! Apparently my colour perception is "greener than 80% of the population". I always considered myself as seeing blue. 
Got stuck on the last two colours shown to me though and chose green for both of them, so maybe my results are inaccurate. Still very fascinating!

Cykonot@jenbanim I know the word cyan tho :( and turquoise
My results said I use cone activation for color categorization. Said I require almost-exclusive rod activation to select green.
Noa@jenbanim turn off your blue light filter for this one 🤭 first one I took was super skewed before I did
Mae@jenbanim hue 171 for me
@jenbanim
Fun, but cyan feels like a basic colour to me, so after a few steps I wanted to say, no it's cyan. Turns out if forced to choose I draw the line on the bluish side, so for me "turquoise is green" (no it isn't it's cyan)

Anthony, of course@jenbanim this is interesting. I'm red/green colourblind and I have my phone's colour correction on. I took the test twice; once with the correction on and then with it off

"Your boundary is at hue 174, just like the population median. You're a true neutral."
First time I've ever been median at anything.

Liz@jenbanim My test-retest results were 185 and 184 due to a slight ambient light change where I am. Camera colourimetry used to be part of my job in telly, and this result tallies with my observation that my eyes 'liked' blue pictures.
Kim@Shifty176 @jenbanim I get about 185 if I use 'green' to mean "not blue" and 175 if I use 'blue' to mean "not green". My colour perception (as a protanomalous trichromat) has a band between blue and green - 'cyan' - that's very much neither but almost indistinguishable from white.
@kim @jenbanim when I got my job initially, there was testing because 'normal hearing and colour vision' were a prerequisite. Over the years, I came to spot that I had a blue bias, in which colours that some racks engineers described as green, I described as blue. It didn't matter, as the vectorscope was always right, and as long as people weren't blue or green, you could get away with anything!
Marcos Dione@jenbanim I wish they did the orange/brown test:
Brown; color is weird

Soulful Minion of Unorthodoxy@jenbanim I don't get this, really. In the center the colour is turquise, neither green nor blue to me, and I can't properly answer in these cases.
Alicja (and Artemida and Mara, see bio)Fascinating. My gut reaction was "yeah, this will vary WILDLY depending on what display one uses".
Turns out, possibly not?
My desktop computer has three monitors and they are very poorly set up colour-wise. If something is moved screen to screen, it's obviously different in colour.
And yet, my results on those three monitors were 177, 178 and 176.
Huh.
Erik@jenbanim since I was little green has been my favourite colour and I’m not a fan of blue.
I see more green than blue (score 171 twice) so I conclude I’m an optimist!
Douglas Edwards@jenbanim I wouldn't have thought of myself as a "blue purist" — my favorite color is a greenish blue that I describe as "hot turquoise" — but according to this test, I am. I took it twice, and my cutoff for the amount of blue required to classify a green-blue admixture as "blue" was at 93% of the population distribution the 1st time, 97% the second time. Apparently my "hot turquoise" is mostly blue with just a hint of green, and is very different from what the test calls turquoise. OR...
@jenbanim ...maybe the population who have taken the test so far happen to be "green purists", and have skewed the statistics. I find the test's results hard to credit at face value, since printer's cyan on paper — which I thought was supposed to be an equal mix of blue and green? — looks to me virtually identical to my "hot turquoise", and looks blue, not green, to my eyes.
@jenbanim Or maybe I'm wrong about the actual physical light wavelength distribution reflecting off printer's cyan on paper? Maybe printer's cyan looks blue to me because the light coming off it really does have most of its energy in the blue wavelengths? This would explain why attempts to simulate cyan on actively illuminated RGB monitors invariably look MUCH greener (and less attractive!) to me than does printer's cyan on paper.
Tykayn@jenbanim nice experiment, they say i am true neutral.
notsoloud@jenbanim
It is not natural for humans to have a word for the color blue.
No, this is not a shitpost, it's a fact. For the immensely fascinating story behind this (and other stories) read Deutschers 'Through the language glass'.

Depends on your screen
Depends on your screen
AntiqueightMy boundary is bluer than the population. For me , turquoise is green. Mostly - 2/3 got a bluer result and one got a true neutral. You decide.
BensGreenGamingAc@jenbanim I get hue 167.
Paula Maddox@jenbanim ok, that's mean... funny, but mean..
Dima Pasechnik 🇺🇦 🇳🇱@jenbanim It was a neither green nor blue for me most of the time. I gave up...
uwu1ba@jenbanim I wonder if it depends on the screen.
On my home PC monitor with the usual IPS panel I got 176. On the phone at max brightness with OLED panel I got 175.

CyberFrog@jenbanim this is actually awesome, I really love this
Jonathan ‘theJPster’ Pallant@jenbanim My blue-green boundary is at hue 178, bluer than 80% of the population.
Yes, turquoise is green. I'm baffled that anyone would think it wasn't when it so clearly is.
Eleanor LNR Blair@jenbanim I find this mildly irritating, because turquoise is not blue *or* green. Though I will admit that if asked "is this shade of turquoise closer to green or blue" then the results are more or less sensible.
@jenbanim When I got the picture/graph at the end it is interesting that many shades I would consider "not blue" in isolation look blue on that chart, and I would in practice draw the line where turquoise becomes blue a fair bit further left. (And add a *second* line, where turquoise becomes green).
@jacquiharper@jenbanim Everyone is looking at a different screen representation
Mans R@jenbanim This probably tests the colour calibration of the monitor at least as much as it does perception.

“Your boundary is at hue 185, bluer than 93% of the population. For you, turquoise is green.”
Yes it is.
Yes it is neat too!
myrmepropagandist"Your boundary is at hue 183, bluer than 93% of the population."
I would enjoy something like this where one could see colors and type in words for them making word clouds for every hue. Most of the colors they showed are not what I would call blue OR green. I'd use a more precise description.
Keith Wansbrough@jenbanim oh fantastic, I've been having this argument forever and now we can quantify it!!
JM@jenbanim My results:
Your boundary is at hue 185, bluer than 97% of the population. For you, turquoise is green.
Three plus or minus five@jenbanim
This feels like it's testing semantics more than color perception.

Dan Neuman 🇨🇦@jenbanim A lot will depend on your viewing device. Do you have blue reduction on? What's the room light colour balance? How old is your monitor? Is it calibrated correctly? How old are you? (Eye lenses yellow with age, blocking some blue light) Was the dress black and blue, or gold and white?
Still a fun experiment.
