Interesting website to see what you personally perceive as "blue"

Kinda wondering if you'd get different results for using a different display (especially of different technology)

This what I got from two consecutive tests anyways (weird that the percentage is different)

Your boundary is at hue 168, greener than 81% of the population. For you, turquoise is blue.

Your boundary is at hue 168, greener than 85% of the population. For you, turquoise is blue.

I got 176 on both phone and monitor.

The percentage is based on how many people have used the thing, so if it is suddenly popular and a lot more runs are completed it can shift the percentage.

Ohh now it makes sense, thanks

Definitely different depending on your screens. I tried it on my desktop monitor, which is fairly decently calibrated, and I got 192 (quite high - bluer than 98% of pop. at the time). It was basically impossible not to notice any hint of green tinge in the background. On my phone, I got 171 (bluer than 68% pop. at the time). I took the tests back to back.

I moved the window between my two desktop monitors just now, and my second monitor is not only older tech, but it's also not color-calibrated at all (or calibrated poorly). A lot of the greener-looking colors on my more accurate monitor looked sky blue on the other monitor.

Edit: eh... I just took it on my phone again and got 192 this time lol. It's probably because the colors close to the boundary don't fit into blue or green for me, I'd rather be able to select both/none. Being forced the choose one kinda makes it subjective to how I'm feeling about it at the time. But I know that's not really the point of this test.

Your boundary is at hue 185, bluer than 94% of the population. For you, turquoise is green.

Funny because I what I call turquoise is what I call blue. The example they gave was too green in my mind.

Actually hard, because I use to distinguish Cyan from Green and Blue, so categorizing it to either blue or green was a bit difficult

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yep, for me the test felt like if someone would ask me if orange is yellow or red

Well, which is it??

Test is flawed. Does not allow for demilitarized zone between blue and green!

This leads to blueward expansion by green and a preemptive war by blue!

30 years on the internet, never seen so many people being wrong.

Perception isn't a straightforward answer that is "right" or "wrong"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

On the internet, your perception is always wrong.

My perception is right.

J'ai fait le test et je trouverais intéressant de le refaire en changeant la luminosité/clareté des tons. Pour les tons clairs, dans le doute je choisi bleu, mais c'est possible que je fasse pas pareil pour les tons foncés.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ouais je pense que le calibrage de l'écran joue beaucoup aussi, sur mon pc les trois dernières couleurs étaient les mêmes à mes yeux, à cause de mon écran un peu nul

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Tout le monde cite le calibrage, mais je suis bien plus interessé par la perception perso. Je sais même pas si ça se calibre un écran d'ordiphone.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Très bonne question, mais pour la perception je pense qu'il y a une part d'apprentissage culturel !

Je distingue ce que j'appelle en français, le bleu turquoïse et le vert turquoïse. Dans mon langage, c'est là que ce trouve la frontière entre les bleus et les verts.

Hue 174 a true neutral was my description

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

174 for me as well.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

TIL I am bluer than 83% of the population.

182 for me. Apparently I am picky about my blues

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Doesn't the intensity of blue fade over the life of most OLED displays? Couldn't that skew the results?

Don't worry; this is a completely pointless test if you didn't have your monitor professionally calibrated beforehand.

Cyan is blue, colour codes can eat my ass. At hue 167 in the test.

Much like Eiffel 65, I appear to be blue...

So I found that I pretty reliably get 185ish if I don’t think about it and just click. Now what happens is the test gives you a blue blue or green green, then throws you color just a bit over the line opposite of your first then throws you colors the opposite but closer to that line back and forth about every time. Seems like my picks tend to be A, B, A, B, A, B pretty consistently, which lead to the same outcomes. Not intentional choices for me, but it feels like the shock of seeing a color variance compared to the last color makes it feel like it’s “more green” or “more blue” than the previous. I feel like they should have a sort of pallet (unintentional pun) cleanser in between each color to give a true test.

i feel like this needs like 5x as many data points before giving a result, also at some point to me the only correct answer would be "neither" because the middle point is just Cyan to me, which isn't blue and definitely isn't green, just like how orange isn't yellow but definitely isn't red.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

That’s cause if you know name of colors with associated color, you more easily distinguish them, there was nice article in scientific american around that stuff. Anglos don’t typically separate for example light blue/cyan as a big color, and thus spend more time choosing lighter blue hue among others. This test is largely for funsies.

And 8 bit colors don’t have lots of space to do more datapoints tbh.

Your boundary is at hue 174, just like the population median. You're a true neutral.

Is this the new method to determine Alignments? Maybe Orange <-> Yellow for the other axis?

True neutral

Although the colors change every time so the result is different every time too

[–] Crozekiel 6 points 2 months ago

Does this exist for other colors? Would be interested to see the entire spectrum done like this.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Both my runs were higher than the average, but the second run fell about where I would probably put the line if I manually did it (182). I think it depends on the samples you get (along with your device of course). Now, let's do one where we divide things into blue, blue-green, and green. I would think the lines would be a lot similar for most people, but who knows.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Just shows that green / blue is too binary. Learn more colours
