I need to win an argument

    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.

    False

    Aka I wouldn’t call it green and wouldn’t call it blue. If you mean to what color it’s more similar, it feels a bit blueish, but very slightly.

    Also your surroundings to which your vision is adapted will probably affect your perception.

    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.

    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.

      If that was the red-green distribution, no one would be arguing whether it was a greenish-red or a reddish-green, because we all know about yellow. OP’s color is teal.

      How did that one red appear? It used to be 0 red before i made the screenshot, cropped it and uploaded to lemmy

        There would have been a bunch of image compression and transcoding along the way. Are the other values as expected?

          I only remember that the red was 0 and that the other values were close

          When using the color picker i used to get this image on the uploaded image(that i redownloaded), it said rgb(0, 122, 133). I copied that color and used another website to make the screenshot so either the 2 websites i used are wrong, the method you used is wrong, or something strange is happening

            It’s a jpeg, it has lossy compression. There could be compression at any point in that chain, most likely right on creation of the screenshot, storage on your lemmy instance, download to my device, upload to my colour picker…

            There are a lot of steps in converting color spaces to suit people’s individual monitors and in compressing files to be stored on web servers.

            Sometimes rounding errors happen. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    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.
