        I took it on my Acer XV275K P3, which is supposedly factory calibrated to: a white balance of 7,500K, average Delta E of 1.54 (Green x of .21, y .71, Blue x .15, y .04), and 99.8% sRBG coverage. Using NixOS Unstable (rev 970e93b9f82e2a0f3675757eb0bfc73297cc6370) with KDE Plasma 6.2.4 in Wayland with HDR enabled, with SDR brightness at 50 nits, SDR saturation at +30%, and screen brightness at 80%. Firefox 133.0 64-bit running in native Wayland mode. I also got hue 174 true neutral, but there one or two where I could’ve chosen either way so idk.

      Lol, I couldn’t think of what word to use. I wish it had all the colors to compare.

    My results.

    When I am unsure, I answered “blue”, which I guess swayed my score further into green than it should be.


    EDIT: I misspoke.

    This was very interesting, thanks. I’ve read somewhere that some cultures don’t differentiate between blue and green, and actually have one word that covers shades of both.

      In Japanese you call a traffic light’s green blue instead, and early fruit or immature people are called blue or bluish.

      Also, Spanish and Portuguese got their “blue” word from Arabic: Azul, which in reality it would be closer to Azure than blue, but that’s because it came from lapis lazuli-made dyes for ceramics.

      ~Note: I might misremembered something from the previous statement, buyers beware.~

      Yep, I got it right, originally from Persian lapis lazuli for the dye. Somehow the other Romance languages use a different word for blue but kept a word for the color azure, it could well be that it got introduced through the Iberians.

      I’ve heard that early languages also call red and orange fruits the same color or something but I couldn’t find the source.

    I ran it twice and got 173 (greener than 57%) and 176 (bluer than 75%).

    I’m sure my uncalibrated monitor with a Color Temperature of “Off” helped a lot.

    I think my expensive screen is really good because I got a true neutral. Probably too good for any of my needs but it is surprising how it comes out in such random posts from time to time
