Interesting website to see what you personally perceive as "blue"

Kinda wondering if you'd get different results for using a different display (especially of different technology)

This what I got from two consecutive tests anyways (weird that the percentage is different)

Your boundary is at hue 168, greener than 81% of the population. For you, turquoise is blue.

Your boundary is at hue 168, greener than 85% of the population. For you, turquoise is blue.

I got 176 on both phone and monitor.

The percentage is based on how many people have used the thing, so if it is suddenly popular and a lot more runs are completed it can shift the percentage.

Ohh now it makes sense, thanks

Definitely different depending on your screens. I tried it on my desktop monitor, which is fairly decently calibrated, and I got 192 (quite high - bluer than 98% of pop. at the time). It was basically impossible not to notice any hint of green tinge in the background. On my phone, I got 171 (bluer than 68% pop. at the time). I took the tests back to back.

I moved the window between my two desktop monitors just now, and my second monitor is not only older tech, but it's also not color-calibrated at all (or calibrated poorly). A lot of the greener-looking colors on my more accurate monitor looked sky blue on the other monitor.

Edit: eh... I just took it on my phone again and got 192 this time lol. It's probably because the colors close to the boundary don't fit into blue or green for me, I'd rather be able to select both/none. Being forced the choose one kinda makes it subjective to how I'm feeling about it at the time. But I know that's not really the point of this test.

Depending on how shit your screen is, you'll even get a different result depending on how far above or below you it is.

My IPS is fine, my cheap LCD second screen shows a gradient from green to cyan for most of it.

That screen cost me a whopping £30 from CEX. They said it had dead pixels on one side, but on closer inspection, it appears to be either ink or blood.

or blood.

Wait🤨

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago

It's a CEX in a small town.

I'm not assuming anything other than whatever money was handed over by the store for this thing was rapidly exchanged for the smallest available quantity of heroin from a local dealer.

I have the nightlight setting on my phone turned all the way up. Every color shown except the first one was green to me lmao

Shoot, I got significantly different results from two consecutive tests on the same device. I suspect the sequence of colors affects perception, too.

In my first run, I perceived greater differences between the sequential colors and I got a couple that were in the extremes, and got around 65% (I don't recall the hue number). The second run, many colors were only a little different from their predecessors, and I didn't get any really obviously blue or green - they were all subtle variations of turquoise, and I scored at 76% (177).
