How blue is your blue?

[LearnedHand]

This is kind of fun.

A visual neuroscientist got interested in color perception when he thought a blanket was unambiguously green and his partner, an ophthalmologist, said it was unambiguously blue. He devised a fun website to measure your blue/green perception and grade your perception on a scale as compared to others who take the test. According to this online tool, I perceive more green than blue.

Note: I read about this in a clever Guardian article.

1. I'm at hue 182...bluer than 87% of the population to me turquoise is green...

Explains a lot …

[LearnedHand]

2. CI was at 187, greener than 98%

Whatever that means in terms of percentile. But I actually do see turquoise as a green.

3. Took it 3 times. 171, 172, 174. It certainly is consistent.

4. Ty. I'm at 173; greener than 57% of the population.

As an artist I've always perceived
Turquoise as a blue-green.

I tried once. Will try again a few times tomorrow.

5. 175

I'm bluer than 59% of the population.

6. I can't decide if the second color is blue or green.

There is no option for "I can't tell."

[LearnedHand]

8. I think that's exactly what this is measuring!

How do you perceive those colors that could be equally interpreted as blue or green? My eyes tend to interpret those ambiguous colors as more green than blue.

10. If the colors can be equally interpreted as blue or green, I won't choose.

7. I'm 194 . Bluer than 99% of the population. But I tend to see some purples as blue. Blue is a weird color.

Texas is very hot and I like cool colors. My favorite flower is blue plumbago because it is the only blue flower that grows here.
However, it comes in Imperial Blue and this pale blue as pictured. There is also a dark blue plumbago, but it is short lived here and needs a cooler climate.




I also do some graphics, which obviously gets you realizing that "true blues are few!" This is true in nature and in graphic arts.

9. 177, 181, 182

Turquoise is blue to me.

[Niagara]

11. My boundary is at hue 191, bluer than 98% of the population. For me, turquoise is green.

This was fun.

[malthaussen]

12. Kind of.

13. Hard to say, really...

... some of the screens seem greenish in one corner and blueish in the other, making it a coin toss to assign an overall value.

Nevertheless, I persevered, getting 163 on the test, so I guess I'm more than "kind of" blue.
