      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

    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.

    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.

        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.

          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.

    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.

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