Teal. The color name you are looking for is: teal.
-
This is Dark Teal
-
Depends. Are you Japanese?
-
-
No. It's that Japanese language does not really differentiate between blue and green especially in ambiguous hues like this one, so there is no good answer to your question if you have to reply in japanese

White and gold.

I knew from being a sharks fan this was Teal.
-
Ok op cards on the table, what did you say it was?
-
#007A85 Blue -133 Green- 122 So, I'd have to say more Blue
-
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.
-
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.

-
It's called teal when it's between green and blue because of this very type of argument.
-
More blue then green, my fav color teal :)
-
It's pink.
-
Teal
-
We're blue, we're green, we're something in between.
-
-
Is this black or white?
-
It's red, green, blue, and black at the microscopic level.
-
indigo
-
Bingo

-
White

Turquoise

It's 1993
-
It’s teal.
-
There.
</thread>Learn some colour vocabulary, my esteemed internet posters.

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.
-
This is green, not red
-
-
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.
-
Blue
-
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
-
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.
-
-
Damn, I got 174 and it just called me true neutral.
-
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.)
-
nice site. going to test it in my monitor this nite
-
-
It's teal.
-
There are more than the 8 colors in the starter crayon pack.
-
Yes and no
-
This is the correct answer
-
So its green and not blue?
-
-
Yes.
-
Yes
-
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
-
-
-
blue
-
It's blue da ba dee da ba die
-
If it was green i would die
-
-
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.
-
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.
-
-
Yes!
-
This is the correct answer.
-
THIS IS SPARTA

-
It’s Windows 95
-
It's Windows 9x teal
Edit: or maybe Logitech trackball teal
-
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 a blue-heavy teal.
-
's clearly blue.
-
a tad more blue than green to me
-
It's my favorite color, that's what it is
-
This is definitely more blue than green, but it's a dark cyan or turquoise. Calling it blue or green implies otherwise.
-
Both, obviously.
-
I cant believe there are so many centrists on lemmy
-
-
Grey
-
Yes
-
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.
-
Blue
-
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
-
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.
-
-
Turqouise
-
That's teal, which is blue.
-
To me it looks more teal blue than teal green.
-
Beige, it's beige
