      This is the scientifically correct answer. Any other observance should be chalked up to differing displays, color temp settings, or just differing color reception in a person’s eyes. Numerically, it’s more blue. Blue Lagoon specifically.

        It’s a good example of how to explain Intelligence vs Wisdom in RPG’s. An intelligent person knows how to find the correct answer. A wise person knows it’s best to sometimes avoid debating opinions with their spouse.

          I once had a guy on a livestream arguing with me that the color I was using in a graphic was orange and needed to be red. I calmly told him, I am using red. He got angry that I kept telling him it was red. I finally pulled up the color picker and showed him 255 0 0. As red as red can get. He continued to argue. I ignored him. Some people are just fools who can’t be wrong. Better to leave them be or they’ll drag you down to their level.

        That also depends on the color accuracy of your device.

        We know what the intent of the color was now but not what is actually displayed.

    That’s RGB 1, 122, 134.

    So while it’s slightly more blue than it is green, I would argue that by calling it one or the other, you are cutting yourself off from a whole spectrum of wondrous complexity. Needing to win an argument denies you the subtle beauty of expanding your view of the world, opening your eyes to the possibility that not only is the other side correct, but you are correct as well.

      If that was the red-green distribution, no one would be arguing whether it was a greenish-red or a reddish-green, because we all know about yellow. OP’s color is teal.

        There would have been a bunch of image compression and transcoding along the way. Are the other values as expected?

          I only remember that the red was 0 and that the other values were close

          When using the color picker i used to get this image on the uploaded image(that i redownloaded), it said rgb(0, 122, 133). I copied that color and used another website to make the screenshot so either the 2 websites i used are wrong, the method you used is wrong, or something strange is happening

            It’s a jpeg, it has lossy compression. There could be compression at any point in that chain, most likely right on creation of the screenshot, storage on your lemmy instance, download to my device, upload to my colour picker…

            There are a lot of steps in converting color spaces to suit people’s individual monitors and in compressing files to be stored on web servers.

            Sometimes rounding errors happen. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    It’s called teal when it’s between green and blue because of this very type of argument.

      I couldn’t tell the difference between most of the colors in the test. lol

      The problem was that for some colors i would say its blue and they would say its green, but for other colors i would say its green and they would say its blue

        ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That’s just part of the fun. The colours are based RGB values so they are what they are.

      This annoys me. It keeps showing me cyan, but only giving me the options of green or blue. Cyan is neither. It’s freaking cyan! It’s a subtractive primary colour!

      (Don’t get me started on art teachers insisting the primary colours for paint are red, yellow and blue. Naff off with that crap. Go look at printer ink, then naff right off again.)

    Tourqoise which means more into blue than teal would be

    But what im seeing may be influenced by display settings, we all are probably looking at slightly different colours.
