Help me settle a discussion with the missus: what colour is that? In the most basic terms possible, I mean. It’s (a shade of) one of the seven colours of the rainbow that you get taught in school, right, you know the ones – but which one is it? Clue: it’s not red.

Green.

Females would probably describe it as aquatic green or some such shade.

Gold and White

Green

Turquoise you fool. 🙂

(mint) green 😆

I can’t see anything apart from a blue and gold dress. Am I missing something?

Bread

(duck egg) green

It’s a shade of green

Teal

There is a dress? All I see is a MTB forum.

Turquoise you fool.

What did they teach you in school? Richard Of York Gave Twatting Battle In Vain?

Stop sitting on the fence, pick a colour, damnit, man.

Gold and White

Get out.

And you.

Oi

I cracked that one first

Is it imperial mint?

That’s Turquoise.

Compare to this:

Teal

*sigh*

Green or blue? Blue or green? Pick one. (I was trying to avoid weighting it by mentioning the colours but you’re all clearly too fancy for that notion. I blame Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen.)

Jade colour.

It’s neither.

That’s like asking if orange is a shade of red or a shade of yellow.

I give up. 😐

I say turquoise and the missus says duck egg blue…..so we will sit on the fence

How very dare you. I cycled from Paignton to Torquay with my ’92 Kona Explosif frame freshly resprayed in that very colour (ish), slung over my shoulder, so if my opinion is that it’s Turquoise, it’s f****** Turquoise! 😀

looks like the colour that some Yeti’s are painted…

Turquoise?

Is that right?

Sea foam Green..

Best offer there…….

Blue if you follow the logic of a thread a few weeks back about how ancient populations perceived colour.

First instinct – Green

More specific – Turquoise

All IMO of course

Aquamarine, the colour of a warm clear sea over a golden sand bed 😉

Ok, right, let’s try this instead: if someone showed you a shade of orange, which was definitely orange, you could say “That’s more red” or “That’s more yellow” right? So, is that shade of turquoise/teal/duck-egg/yeti/aquamarine/whatever more blue, or more green?

Don’t make me get the glove puppets out to explain this.

That’s teal. It’s the complimentary colour to orange and the two make up the vast majority of modern TV / film output palettes these days. Look out for it.

If the question is “blue or green” then it’s a sort of bluish-green (so mostly green). Does that help?

Just green then. The stw grey background is skewing it to blue.

a sort of bluish-green (so mostly green). Does that help?

Yes! Just the “mostly green” bit would have sufficed but thanks for playing. 😀

Pick a matching wavelength, find your answer

I say green so does the missus.

Really you should be letting us know what your missus thinks and what you think so we can berate either one of you accordingly.

It’s turquiose, or a very light teal. trust me, i’m a drunk interior decorator.

What happened to Indigo?

Compares with Yeti in Kitchen, Yep Turquoise 😀

I said (sea foam) Green in my response before and I mean (sea foam) Green now.

HTH’s.

Glove puppets.
