Do people just not know what Turquoise is?

Have you seen this? It’s absolutely bonkers. That’s not green!!!!!

My turquoise is blue. Hue 169, greener than 77% of the population.

Colour perception is quite subjective, as in the dress that broke the internet.

Blue and Black or White and Gold?

Cambridge Blue is very obviously green. It annoys me every time I see the boat race!

Man here. We only think in about 11 colours which is why I am right in the middle.

My DH and myself often have this discussion. We definitely see blue/green tones differently. We have a painted wall which I can easily see green in but he insist its JUST blue, and there is a shade on a car which I see is green and he insists is JUST blue!

I’m very clearly a blue 😂

Also, I have no inner voice 🤷‍♀️

I got zero. I have always enjoyed different shades of colour, from sorting crayons when I was little to never being able to decide the exact shade of paint because I like so many!

Wow that is actually impressive.

I also got 0 on the Pantone/X Rite test, which proves Cambridge Blue is green. 😉

I have got 0 on that Pantone test before, and done similarly on other such tests.

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

Whatever that means!

That is crazy!

You should ask her what happens to warm colour when she looks with her cool eye and vice versa.

I don't even think that is turquoise, it's more aquamarine to me. But then I had this bitch of a colleague I hated who had this ugly little Fiat that she insisted was turquoise, it wasn't, it was pistachio at best! breathes.

Me too! Who’d have thought.

I got 173, and 2 - I knew a couple on the Pantone weren't quite right, but I couldn't get the squares to shift over. I may try again tomorrow on a bigger screen.

Linguistically, red is usually the first colour any population describes and blues are last. Humans aren't as good at distinguishing hues at thr bluer end of the spectrum.

Although the whole point of turquoise is it's a mix of blue and green, not really one nor tother, but both.

Oh that is weird, do it to one of your own posts. Is it pink or purple. Left eye sees pink, right eye sees purple. I'm going to look like a lunatic now winking at things.

My mum (RIP) and I used to argue, jokingly, about turquoise and teal and all those shades, which she always saw more as green and I more as blue. I remember (but can't be bothered to find) solid studies showed than women on the whole see turquoise shades (note plural!) as more green and men as more blue.

Guess that makes me a man 😂

I got 0!! I am thrilled.

Interestingly my father was badly red/green colour blind but I think I’m tetrachromatic.

Mine said it was blue as well. I mean, it is a light shade of blue. Nobody ever says turquoise is green do they? There's obviously some green in there compared with like a royal blue or something...quite interesting?!

Fascinating! I got a neutral 174 on the blue/green and a perfect 0 on the Pantone. Pretty chuffed at age of 60 and late at night. I always told my late DH that my colour vision was good (as we quibbled about precise shades). Wish he was here for me to crow about it.

It's blue 🤣

My hue is 166, greener than 89% of the population apparently but my turquoise is blue.

Your boundary is at hue 184, bluer than 93% of the population. For you, turquoise is green.

Well yes, turquoise IS green(ish) 🤔

This green my mind.

I'm apparently a very boring slap bang in the middle true neutral. My red-green colour blind husband is much greener than average, apparently.
