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.
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...
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
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.)
This is the scientifically correct answer. Any other observance should be chalked up to differing displays, color temp settings, or just differing color reception in a person's eyes. Numerically, it's more blue. Blue Lagoon specifically.
It's a good example of how to explain Intelligence vs Wisdom in RPG's. An intelligent person knows how to find the correct answer. A wise person knows it's best to sometimes avoid debating opinions with their spouse.
I once had a guy on a livestream arguing with me that the color I was using in a graphic was orange and needed to be red. I calmly told him, I am using red. He got angry that I kept telling him it was red. I finally pulled up the color picker and showed him 255 0 0. As red as red can get. He continued to argue. I ignored him. Some people are just fools who can't be wrong. Better to leave them be or they'll drag you down to their level.
But, for real, OP is having a struggle with it for this reason.
If something is 50% G and 50% B, it is neither one or the other. It's exactly where C sits. If it is 75% G and 25% B, you could say it's green. But if I asked if it's green or cyan, we'll have the same issue again, sinc it's. 50% G and 50% C.
Cyan is a primary color when working subtractively, but for additive color the primaries are RGB. Since this is on a screen, green and blue would be the relevant primaries
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.
Teal is greenish blue, turquoise is bluish green. But tbh why not consider both of them colours of their own. Green isn't a primary colour either, if we consider that its own colour, why stop there?
Also, "bright" does not change the hue, a bright blue is still blue, with the possible etymology exception of red because "bright" (white) red becomes what we call pink (which is, you got it, actually a very light red).
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.

Nah, it's blue.

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

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)_/¯

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.
I couldn't tell the difference between most of the colors in the test. lol
Damn, I got 174 and it just called me true neutral.
nice site. going to test it in my monitor this nite

#007A85 Blue -133 Green- 122 So, I'd have to say more Blue

That also depends on the color accuracy of your device.
We know what the intent of the color was now but not what is actually displayed.
This is Dark Teal
Is this black or white?
indigo
Bingo
It's red, green, blue, and black at the microscopic level.
White
Teal
We're blue, we're green, we're something in between.
you're both wrong it's turquoise
It's teal
dark cyan
The argument was if a color could be both green and blue at the same time
But this is 100% blue
It's CYAN. Teal and turquoise are shades of cyan. Cyan is a primary color. This post is like asking if yellow is red or green.
It's definitely yellow.
But, for real, OP is having a struggle with it for this reason.
If something is 50% G and 50% B, it is neither one or the other. It's exactly where C sits. If it is 75% G and 25% B, you could say it's green. But if I asked if it's green or cyan, we'll have the same issue again, sinc it's. 50% G and 50% C.
OP gotta learn their colour spectrum a bit more.
Cyan is a primary color when working subtractively, but for additive color the primaries are RGB. Since this is on a screen, green and blue would be the relevant primaries
So is yellow, red or green; is magenta, red or blue?
Are we talking additive or subtractive color? If additive then yellow is the secondary of green and red, and magenta the secondary of blue and red
As its RGB values are 017A86 it's actually 52.55% blue.
if this is blue you gotta check ur monitors color calibration
It’s teal.
There.
</thread>Learn some colour vocabulary, my esteemed internet posters.
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.
It's teal.
Turquoise
Green. I often have the same argument about my jacket
Wait, I had "night light" on. It's blue.
Try this with our friend.

It's called teal when it's between green and blue because of this very type of argument.
The RGB value for this color seems to be:
(0,122,133)
As such, it is slightly more blue than green, if that helps you win your argument. If not, you can just say it's "bluegreen" and only be half wrong.
Teal
It's Windows 9x teal
Edit: or maybe Logitech trackball teal
Blue
Turqouise
It's pink.
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler I'm color blind. :::
Teal. The color name you are looking for is: teal.
There are more than the 8 colors in the starter crayon pack.
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
That's teal, which is blue.
Yes
Blue

Best comment here
Actually "grue" is a word used by linguists to translate from languages without green blue distinction
It's 1993
Blue
It's a blue-heavy teal.
Türkise (in between but closer to blue)
Sorry, but what color is "türkise" exactly? I think you meant turquoise.
Jap, türkise is german, didnt knew the english word and was to lazy to google
It's grue duh
To me it looks more teal blue than teal green.
It's gold and white. Duh.
It's Yanni
It’s Windows 95
Petrol (which is like half blue half turquoise and turquoise is half blue half green)
Im pretty sure petrol is black, not 75% blue 25% green
I mean the color:
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.
White and gold.
a tad more blue than green to me
#007986 -> #RRGGBB so greenish blue. If it has to be either blue or green, then it's blue.
Yes!
This is the correct answer.
THIS IS SPARTA
When my phone is on low brightness it looks teal, when it's bright it looks more turquoise, either way I'd say more blue than green
Yes and no
This is the correct answer
So its green and not blue?
Idk I’m colorblind
It's blue da ba dee da ba die
If it was green i would die
In some languages both green and blue are considered the same color, so grue
Ao
Too much light for it to be a grue, it has to be pitch black for that.
Yes
's clearly blue.
Windows 9x teal.
Teal is blue.
Teal is greenish blue, turquoise is bluish green. But tbh why not consider both of them colours of their own. Green isn't a primary colour either, if we consider that its own colour, why stop there?
Green is primary though, for additive color. For subtractive color, cyan is a primary color.
I think it's crazy how everyone acts like cyan doesn't exist. This original post is like saying, "is this [yellow] red or green?"
Yellow is obviously red
Bleen
It’s windows nt / 98 / 2000. That’s the color name
Hatsune Miku
https://ismy.blue/
I see it as a greenish shade of blue
Teal, at least to me, has always been a shade of blue.
blue
Looks blue to me although I'm sure there's some green blended in there. But yeah, blue. Turquoise is probably closest.
Yes
Ok op cards on the table, what did you say it was?
Beige, it's beige
blue
Yes.
cyan
It's my favorite color, that's what it is
It's teal.
Grey
Both, obviously.
I cant believe there are so many centrists on lemmy
Yes
green
blue
Clearly that's transparent
My first thought was blue
https://youtu.be/dAE7uOO_4v4
More blue then green, my fav color teal :)
it's teal, it's both
I would say blue
Om the colour wheel I'd say it's greenish cyan, possibly bluish green.
Source
So. Both.
Turquoise
that's blellow
Makita
German has a word for it: Türkis
English: Turquoise
Looks like cyan to me.
So it’s green in the same sense that yellow is green, and it’s blue in the same sense that magenta is blue.
salmon
Petrol.
I would definitely call that blue.
Would depend on the screen of the viewer, but looks as blue as anything to me
I would need it on a black or white background
Grue
Bleen
It's definitely not green.
It’s square
That's aquamarine.
Aquamarine is lighter in tone.
It's a dark aquamarine.
maybe
When a lake or river has this color, we call it blue
It's not blue or green, It'sTeal or Turquoise
Go learn some other colors than blue, green and yellow 😘
Yellow is just bring orange
No, orange is yellow plus red.
Also, "bright" does not change the hue, a bright blue is still blue, with the possible etymology exception of red because "bright" (white) red becomes what we call pink (which is, you got it, actually a very light red).
Brown, however, is actually just dark orange. And that's a mindfuck to me
Yeah and then you have reddish browns and greenish briwns, it's a whole world.
BTW lots of downvoting people in the thread lol
That is true, but it kinda looks like bright orange, which is enough for me to call it that
That's Cyan
Lies and slander. Cyan is a much better color.
