cressida Posted Monday at 19:55 Share Posted Monday at 19:55 It'sTurquoise or Kingfisher both more or less the same and yet Kingfisher Blue is more usually printed, remember the colours in your paintbox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slighty batty Posted Monday at 19:59 Share Posted Monday at 19:59 (edited) I’ll do the test tomorrow in daylight. Interestingly the Bretons have a word for a certain type of blue/green and there’s no translation for it in English or French. The word is “glaz” Edited Monday at 19:59 by Slighty batty Adding word glaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resident Posted Monday at 21:15 Share Posted Monday at 21:15 Your boundary is at hue 160, greener than 97% of the population. For you, turquoise is blue. It is worth mentioning that the test will be skewed slightly due to the variations in colour reproduction on screens. One hue may appear green on one screen but blue on another for the same person viewing. So whilst a fun little thing to do, it's not very scientifically sound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my initial reaction too, and still is; even the room lighting will affect it to some degree. As it happens, I'm using a colour calibrated monitor, and have an external USB sensor to set a colour profile, which loads into the operating system when the PC boots up; I do quite a lot of digital photo development. The basic topic came up on a photo forum I frequent, but in a slightly different way, as folk were discussing colour blindness and photography. Rather than putting a name to the colour, the following free test is about visual perception of different hues, and putting them in the correct order. I struggled most with the top row of orange/browns, which came as no surprise, as I always had difficulty with orange and brown striped wires; i.e. it is a brown or orange stripe/band on that yellow wire? https://www.xrite.com/hue-test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup - also even a change of angle of the screen on my chromebook/laptop changes the colours - ie darker the more I tilt the screen away from me, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
