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

I got exactly 172 as well.

I wonder where they get their population distribution info

Mine is at 185. I have red/green colorblindness. Wonder if that pushes me more to the blue side?

Protan here, similar result.

I got true neutral. My radical centrism strikes again.

167 here. I think the phrasing means I see a whole lotta blue

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I did it twice and got 164 and 165, greener than 95%. Idk man, shit just looks blue to me.

I get different results with each eye 🤔

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Wow, this is cool

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

This is great! I’ve always felt my color recognition is different from my wife’s so now we can compare.

I've got 174. As I remember correctly categorizing colors in your mind depends on your native language (or just language used), and some may even categorize the hues on this gradient to more basic colors in their language (like in Russian: зелёный [zʲɪˈlʲɵnɨj], голубой [ɡəɫʊˈboj] and синий [ˈsʲinʲɪj]).

I think the boundary between the basic color equivalents for green, and blue (zielony /ʑɛˈlɔ.nɨ/ and niebieski /ɲɛˈbjɛs.ki/) in Polish are more moved more to the right, and that's why I got 174. But I wonder if I have repeated that test in my native Polish if the results would differ (so they are even more to the right).

Edit: I have manually changed strings on the website from English to Polish, making my mind to "think in Polish". The result is 179 so I think that theory checks out.

I'm red green colorblind but ended up at 177, which is fairly close to the (as I see at least) middle while line dividing green and blue.

Which is surprising because I bought blue chopsticks in Japan, and my mother say they are mainly green, much to my frustration.

~~I got 84 too, looks like we see colors different from the normal people~~

I forgot I have night mode enabled on my phone, after turning it off I got closer to average, oops

I got 187? I have been playing I love hue a lot tho which may be skewing my perception

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

these questions are really hard to answer

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

182 for me. Interesting, I have a little bit of synesthesia. When I see turquoise, a very specific taste comes in my mouth.

I got exactly the same result

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

This is silly, instantly it's not blue or green

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

I got exactly the population median (174 iirc?)

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

The most interesting thing is my wife is 172, and I am 173. So I guess our blues are the same
