Do You See Blue or Green?

17 Sep

My result?

Screenshot of my result from the ismy.blue color perception test. Apparently my boundary is bluer than 85% of the population.

Your boundary is at hue 181, bluer than 85% of the population. For you, turquoise is green.

Well, duh. Of course turquoise is green. 😊 Oh, and the reference to Sapir-Whorf? “chef’s kiss”

My Barbara was a linguist by training before she became a social worker. She firmly believed that language creates reality. I’m more in the camp that it reflects reality, both physical and cultural. Still, loved the article, and the site.

    Interestingly, on my desktop, and on your site (and at almost 11PM!), I see a bit of green in the photo here (I’m too sleepy to go do the little test again,) way over on the lefthand side. So, I’m guessing that the screens made a difference for me.

      I’m sure that monitor calibration affects your results. Still, it’s a fun little distraction. 😊
