Interesting website to see what you personally perceive as "blue"
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 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 get different results with each eye 🤔
I got 187? I have been playing I love hue a lot tho which may be skewing my perception
I got exactly the population median (174 iirc?)
i feel like this needs like 5x as many data points before giving a result, also at some point to me the only correct answer would be "neither" because the middle point is just Cyan to me, which isn't blue and definitely isn't green, just like how orange isn't yellow but definitely isn't red.
I think that the difficulty in deciding which to pick when the truth feels to be "neither" is an intended effect of the test. It would be interesting to see the results of a test that allowed for "neither" though
i don't think that's the case, the point of the website seems to quite clearly be seeing what shades people consider either colour, and if a shade is "neither" then that's the answer you want to track rather than polluting your data with forced false answers.
I got exactly the same result
This is silly, instantly it's not blue or green
these questions are really hard to answer
The most interesting thing is my wife is 172, and I am 173. So I guess our blues are the same
182 for me. Interesting, I have a little bit of synesthesia. When I see turquoise, a very specific taste comes in my mouth.
Does it taste kinda minty?
I really can’t describe it, but it’s not minty.
Is it like sucking on a penny?
I got 161 then 169 for my blue boundary. looking at the chart, I definitely agree more with the latter
Took it twice and got nearly opposite results. Split the difference?
