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.
It's teal.
It's a blue-heavy teal.
False
Aka I wouldn't call it green and wouldn't call it blue. If you mean to what color it's more similar, it feels a bit blueish, but very slightly.
Also your surroundings to which your vision is adapted will probably affect your perception.
Yes
To me it looks more teal blue than teal green.
Green. I often have the same argument about my jacket
Wait, I had "night light" on. It's blue.
Try this with our friend.
I did two runs, the first ended at 177 (three more greens than 76%of respondents), the second at 174 (the exact median). I think the methodology is flawed, there's a little randomness at the threshold so you need to gather more data to be certain of a person's perception. You'll see that the same hue can seem bluer when it follows a strong green, or greener when it follows a weak green.
Turquoise
Blue
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.

Clearly that's transparent
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...
I couldn't tell the difference between most of the colors in the test. lol
Damn, I got 174 and it just called me true neutral.
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.

That's teal, which is blue.
It's teal.
Turqouise
It’s windows nt / 98 / 2000. That’s the color name
this is the default windows 95 background color
it's teal, it's both
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.
I would say blue
Teal
Yes
Grue
Looks blue to me although I'm sure there's some green blended in there. But yeah, blue. Turquoise is probably closest.
It's gold and white. Duh.
It's Yanni
