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.
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 took it three times, with a spread of five points.
This is really dumb. You only find me 2 options i dont agree with either one. Should be green teal tourquoise and blue as options.
I tried it on both of my monitors and it was wildly different. Clearly my main monitor is a little too blue
Some East Asians are gonna be very confused by this.
Why?
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.
