Teal
That's Cyan
Lies and slander. Cyan is a much better color.
It’s square
Would depend on the screen of the viewer, but looks as blue as anything to me
I would need it on a black or white background
Is this black or white?
White
Beige, it's beige
It’s teal.
There. </thread>
Learn some colour vocabulary, my esteemed internet posters.
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.
Bleen
cyan
It's teal.
In some languages both green and blue are considered the same color, so grue
Too much light for it to be a grue, it has to be pitch black for that.
Ao
It's a blue-heavy teal.
It’s Windows 95
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.
Green
Yes
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.
Edit: did a third run, this time staring at a white wall for 5 seconds between each color and responding as quickly as possible. Got 170, way over in the green. A lot of it looked like a pale blue sky.
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.
This is green, not red

Turquoise
To me it looks more teal blue than teal green.
Blue
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.

This is definitely more blue than green, but it's a dark cyan or turquoise. Calling it blue or green implies otherwise.
That's teal, which is blue.
Clearly that's transparent
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.
Turqouise
this is the default windows 95 background color
Teal
