It's Windows 9x teal

Edit: or maybe Logitech trackball teal

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 hours ago

To me it looks more teal blue than teal green.

Clearly that's transparent

Green. I often have the same argument about my jacket

Wait, I had "night light" on. It's blue.

Try this with our friend.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

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.

How did that one red appear? It used to be 0 red before i made the screenshot, cropped it and uploaded to lemmy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

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...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

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)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 hours ago

That's teal, which is blue.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 hours ago

This is definitely more blue than green, but it's a dark cyan or turquoise. Calling it blue or green implies otherwise.

You and your friend can both do the test above and see exactly where your breakpoints are.

eta: I'll show you mine...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

Damn, I got 174 and it just called me true neutral.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] DrBob 5 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

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

It’s windows nt / 98 / 2000. That’s the color name

German has a word for it: Türkis

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

I would say blue

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago
[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 hours ago

The RGB value for this color seems to be:

(0,122,133)

As such, it is slightly more blue than green, if that helps you win your argument. If not, you can just say it's "bluegreen" and only be half wrong.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Looks blue to me although I'm sure there's some green blended in there. But yeah, blue. Turquoise is probably closest.

I see it as a greenish shade of blue

Teal, at least to me, has always been a shade of blue.

Petrol (which is like half blue half turquoise and turquoise is half blue half green)

Actually "grue" is a word used by linguists to translate from languages without green blue distinction
