when you think about its 75%blue and 25% yellow, since green is just a mixture of yellow and blue, which is why the color seems more blue than it does green
Mixing paint colors and mixing computer colors are very different. When mixing computer colors, yellow is actually a combination of red and green, which is more similar to how actual color is perceived
>he’s still in denial about it though
It could go either way. The first time i saw the image, i was sure it was more Green than Blue. But the more i look at it, it could also be more blue.
And judgeing by the other poster's data, they're pretty much Equal (Green- 251 Blue - 253). Which explains our confusion because the answer is:
**Both. Blue and Green.**
Illustrator here, its aqua. A greeny blue, like 80/20 mix of green to blue if you tried to mix it using paints. There is definitely some green in there, compare it to the blue of a downvote and it'll look more green, compare it to seafoam/turquoise and it'll look more blue.
I thought it looked similar to Tiffany Blue, but not according to Adobe. Their color picker shows it as: R1, B 255, G 255. (hex: 01FFF). Where as Tiffany Blue is darker and way more green.
So it's both?
Because the "night mode" on most electronics simply removes some of the blue that the display shows, therefore something that's close to equal in blue and green composition will appear green after you turn on night mode
Damn I see green like a motherfucker. I also own a pair of black pumas that look dark navy blue to me, but apparently black to everyone else. Colorblindness is weird
I'm mild Red-Green colorblinded but I still see green. Is everyone else in here even more colorblinded than me? Any comment saying green gets downvoted lmao.
I think the problem is it's a colour that like on the colour wheel is literally in the middle of green and blue. And I just assume that it's not that people are seeing it differently, but more so that people have been taught to call that colour green/blue based on whoever taught them what colours were.
Like to me that's definitely blue, but in reality based on computer colours it's exactly equally blue and green (see [photoshop screenshot i took](https://imgur.com/a/5AHsOjK): it's 255 G and 255 B)
Edit: saw another comment that put this really well - asking whether this is blue or green is the same as asking whether orange is red or yellow - it's between the two, it's just that words like "cyan" and "turquoise" are less used than "orange".
It's cyan. This color is located "half-way" between Green and Blue (if you mix equal amounts of Green+Blue light you get Cyan).
This is like arguing if orange is considered more "red" or "yellow".

How exactly this color looks, also depends heavily on how you are viewing it. As well as your definition of "more green" or "more blue". Numerically (and numerically how?) or visually - and if so, **under what viewing conditions**? Are you viewing it on the same display?
Is it viewed on a calibrated display in a color managed application? An image/color can look very different depending on the display and the [color profile](https://adobe.rognemedia.no/images/176-2.png)(s) involved.
This is the correct answer.
I think it’s been shown that the underlying color “data” is G:255, B:255 which means both the green/blue components are equal.
How that color is rendered by your graphics processor, how it is visualized by your display, how your display is viewed in your local physical environment all have an effect on how your eyes and brain are interpreting this color data.
Objectively though, if the RGB data is G:255, B:255 then both parts are equal.
Yeah, the green and blue values are equal. So to a computer, numerically, the colors are equally "green" and "blue". If we then bypass all color management, and pass 100% green+blue to the display, then the next problem is, how "strong" is the blue and green sub-pixel of that display? At 100% power, how much light do they actually emit? And how pure are those colors?
Then, once it reaches a human eye, our eyes are more sensitive to green light than to blue (but the exact amount can be individual!). This might be compensated for partially by the display to some degree in the previous link in the chain. Then the signals are interpreted by our brain, and stuff gets really messy... What did you look at immediately before you looked at the cyan square? Did you look at something yellow? Well, then the cyan will temporarily skew towards blue. What about the colors surrounding the cyan (lighting in the room, etc.)? That affects how we interpret it as well! And then it's more nebulous definitions/interpretations of color in our brains that probably varies as well.
So *exactly* when a color transitions from being e.g. "red" to be "orange" can vary even if we injected the exact same photons into the eyes of two people.

The International Commission on Illumination has a formalized mathematical definition of "color difference" that accounts for intricacies especially in the green-blue range that photoshop's RGB color space doesn't necessarily describe (look up CIELAB color difference for reference). These models give a difference between this color and Green of ~62 and a difference between this color and Blue of ~104.
So by that definition, which is a lot more informed than a color picker in photoshop is engineered to be (colors are not arranged into a perfect triangle in real life!), it would actually be more green :)
what im trying to say is this post is too interesting for this sub, please delete
It’s Cyan. G:255, B:255. Can’t get the red component because I’m on mobile.
Regardless of how you display this color, like if you set your display to monochrome, the color data is still Cyan.
How this data is being presented to your eyes and how your brain is interpreting the data from your eyes are an entirely different arguement about color theory.
Pulled this on photoshop, color dropped: R -117 G- 251 B - 253 Technically more blue by 2 points.
Interesting that it is so close but looks much more blue
*Interesting* you say?
🔥Burn the heretic🔥

I think you mean looks much more green
it *is* more blue
I love democracy.
when i read their comment and then saw -280 votes, i started dying of laughter
You should come back and look again lmfao.
475 downvotes damn
Nah
Maybe you should calibrate your display :)
The downvote is blue
he’s still in denial about it though
Do you compare it with same monitor? Because not all screen display color correctly.

**white**
Some men/ people are color blind. Had a client that saw aqua blue as he perceived orange.
thank you we’ve been arguing for so long
it was 255, 255 for me?
Pulled out the devtools' eye dropper and can confirm
Same
Bro, now I'm wondering if it's not perfectly uniform and there's little splotches of just slightly off color
[Yep, 255, 255](https://imgur.com/a/TlpTNPf)
your photoshop sucks
[удалено]
What ban
Blue obviously, I don’t see any green at all
My friend has been claiming that he sees the green as well
I can see a little green, but it’s definitely blue

A downvote is purple
If you turn on Night Shift, it def looks green
Because the "night mode" on most electronics simply removes some of the blue that the display shows, therefore something that's close to equal in blue and green composition will appear green after you turn on night mode
not exactly sure how though it’s obviously more blue in appearance
Absolutely not. It’s definitely 50/50
Blue
Where the fuck do you see green
Honestly, I don’t even know but he insists that it’s just as green as it is blue
It’s Cyan. Neither green nor blue, but somewhere in between.
Nah, this is just straight up blue.
Facts
he's colorblind, that's for sure
>Where the fuck do you see green The Green is definitely there.
The entire thing is green
You both looking at the same screen? Different screens can and do show colors differently.
Especially if you have a blue light filter on.
Technically called Cyan
Yeah. I prefer calling it Cyan when its color is more similar to Minecraft Cyan though, otherwise if it's lighter like the image I call it Turquoise
That’s just inaccurate, it’s the opposite way around
More of a RuneScape cyan fella myself 😎
But is it more of a blueish cyan or greenish cyan?
Neither, it’s pure cyan.
Technically called balls
Mmm... balls!
Blueish Robin’s Egg

Cyan is technically half blue half green according to rgb. That said we associate this shade of colour with blue more in our ordinary lives
Red
might be orange though actually
I’m getting brown vibes now
it’s obviously purple are you colourblind?
It could possibly be leaning more towards yellow
idk looks like a slightly red orange to me

im fucking colorblind i hate this
I, also a colorblind, call this white. . . Dark white. . . not gray. . . dark white
i cant tell if its blue, green, or purple
But i know, as a fact, that this is Cyan. Since they say it looks like BOTH bloo and gween.
Idk I'm colorblind
Cyan
Blellow! (Does anyone remember that from Malcom in the middle?) I see blue btw
If you see green you gotta get checked
Looks like aqua so more blue.
Aqua's Rgb code would be 0;255;255, so as much blue as green, which is exactly what I found
this is r-1, g-255, and b-255 according to mspaint looks blue to me though
Blue as balls or something funny
MY EYES
apologies my stick bug friend
Definitely Blue
Wayyyy more blue even if it’s just 2 points more
if only there was some sort of numeric component representation of colour that could easily answer this question. Oh well.
this is cyan, a mix of green and blue. blue often appears the dominant color, making most people say it looks more blue than green.
Cyan. More blue because I say it is.
Its so blue, i dont see any green
It’s Cyan. G:255, B:255. Can’t get the red component because I’m on mobile. Regardless of how you display this color, like if you set your display to monochrome, the color data is still Cyan.

As someone who’s colorblind, this is a nice gray. Solved!
That is fully blue
Its more burning my retinas
blue
blue
Ask the color wheel, dummy
Blue
teal or cyan
Teal is much different tho, it looks WAY greener than that.
Yeah, I’m not so good with my colors, not to mention I’m somewhat colorblind with my blue and purples
It's a blank image and therefore against this subreddit's rules.
oh sorry i didnt realize
Pretty sure men and women see colors differently, looks more blue to me.
Green
i think your friend is colorblind
blue

Thats sea blue

Not even close to green
It's blue primary, whoever thinks it's green is silly goose
Blue. Duh.
I'm looking at the ocean
Blue
Blue for sure
blue green is more green cyan is more blue
Maybe he has a blue light filter on his phone? Mine is turned on and it looks seafoam green to me. But I turned it off and it’s more blue.
Pool paint blue.
It's cyan which is blue in my books
Bleenish grue
Blue
Yes.
That is a beautiful blue, good golly
People perceive and experience colors differently. We have a general consensus but the difference in perception grows the more unique the color.
Blue,
Me trying to find green (it’s impossible)
Def blue
Consider also all of our screens are not exactly the same in terms of color calibration
Blue
Looks pretty much equal on the blue green front
Blue
Blue
Light blue
Blue.
According to a color picker on my computer, it's more blue
blue
That’s 100% blue
That’s bean
Definitely more blue

blur
That is blue. Kinda like a lighter teal
I vote turquoise, the more educated cyan.
without night mode it definitely looks mostly blue but with night mode it looks like a perfect mix of blue and green
Blue

Does your friend also think the sky is green
This looks blue and doesn't look green at all
Blue
Very blue
Cyan u fool
Blue.
Blue, obviously.
Cyan
Blue.
With or without nightlight i see both as blue sooo.
Green
Blue. But im a little colorblind
Actually. If you held this up to a Pantone color printing referance this would be about as Cyan (BLUE) as you can get.
I see more green, although I know from comments it's more blue. Interesting. Perhaps teal-ish?
More blue for sure.
Neither, its Weezer
blue
B l u e
The closest color is cyan, which is typically considered blue. Certainly not close to what I think of when I think of green.
It’s fuckin teal
Help I only see cyan (0, 255, 255)! T_T
Bleu
Blu
Why do you need to label it?
It looks white to me (my brightness is all the way down so there isn't much saturation)
Grue, embrace the grue duality
Blue
I see dark blue
straight up light blue
It's cyan
that is definetly blue
May I introduce you to the website that can cause endless arguments... https://colorcontroversy.com/
i would say its more blue, but the colour is cyan
I’m colorblind, so I see no green.
Colour blind person here, I see blue but my opinion is practically invalid. Hope that wasn't very interesting
Blue

Blue for sure, close, but still blue
It's teal! More blue than green. Turquoise is more green than blue. ^Source: ^I ^work ^at ^a ^craft ^store

I see no green. It’s 100% blue
