I need to win an argument
This is Dark Teal
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.
Nah, it’s blue.
Plurple
Orange
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.
This is green, not red
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…
I downloaded the jpeg that i used to test the colors now
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)_/¯
Teal. The color name you are looking for is: teal.
Teal
You and your friend can both do the test above and see exactly where your breakpoints are.
eta: I’ll show you mine…
I couldn’t tell the difference between most of the colors in the test. lol
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.
This annoys me. It keeps showing me cyan, but only giving me the options of green or blue. Cyan is neither. It’s freaking cyan! It’s a subtractive primary colour!
(Don’t get me started on art teachers insisting the primary colours for paint are red, yellow and blue. Naff off with that crap. Go look at printer ink, then naff right off again.)
It’s called teal when it’s between green and blue because of this very type of argument.
It’s teal.
There.
</thread>Learn some colour vocabulary, my esteemed internet posters.
It’s teal.

It’s 1993
White and gold.
That’s windows 98 background colour isn’t it? That is 0x008080 so it is literally, by definition, half blue and half green.
E: I pulled out the colour picker and it’s 0x017a86 so not quite win98 background, and therefore very slightly blue
I knew from being a sharks fan this was Teal.
Ok op cards on the table, what did you say it was?
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.
