I'm at 171 but that was only because I was being forced into a binary choice. Turquoise is neither green nor blue. It is turquoise (or blue-green).

1. I came in at ninety something, but only because I was stuck with calling turquoise green since it wasn't blue.

I was expecting the test to be about people's central example of blue.

I was having such a hard time with the turquoise.

"Your boundary is at hue 182, bluer than 89% of the population. For you, turquoise is green."

Same here! I object to their not being a 3rd category.

[andrewducker]

The whole point is to find the border between where you feel that green and blue meet. Giving you a third option would make the whole thing rather pointless.

But to me, and possibly others, "turquoise" is as valid and entire a colour category as "blue" or "green". Perceptually.

And also, what about cyan? It's kinda important... Lol

[andrewducker]

Every colour is valid. There is no such thing as an invalid colour.

[channelpenguin]

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

Er, I also say turquoise is turquoise and didn't like the binary-only choice!

[andrewducker]

The whole point is the binary choice - to find the point where it tips, for you, from being more green to being more blue.
