It Is Green

Jax disagrees with me. She thinks this is blue. It is clearly green.

Sadly, both our children have inherited her colour blindness.

    The best bit was when Small pointed at frog and then the sample, and said “this is green, that is blue, now can you see the difference?”

    That falls on the green side of the line for me. Not as green as a frog, sure, but not blue. Asked the kids – the girls say blue, Ernest says green.

    I think it is almost certainly turquoise!

    S says turquoise, D says blue. I probably say turquoise too but definitely greener rather than bluer.

    It depends which monitorI display it on. On my main monitor, it’s blue. On my second monitor, it’s green. Being a bloke, that’s a close as I can get.

    Tim, I’m back at the hospital at the end of the month, I’ll ask them then.
    It’s bluey green? Greeny blue? More on the green side though. Sorry Jax.

    Ask someone from Wales
    We have the same disagreements over red / purple. See you in Relate’s special sessions on marital colour differences.

    It’s definitely a greenish turquoise!
    Now, for another debate, what color is lemon/lime Gatorade? (do you have that over there?) Generally, men say one color, women say another. I wonder if it looks different to someone who is blue/green colorblind?

    That is definitely green though I can see where you might have got the blue from. If it had a yellow base then it would have been more frog green but as it has a blue base, the appearance is more turquoise.

    It’s bluer in person, trust me. I’m making it into a cardigan for Small, so in time, probably quite a few of you will be able to see it and judge for yourselves.

    I say ‘green’, Flopsy says ‘light blue’, and Mopsy agrees with her because Mopsy agrees with everything Flopsy says!, and Dh says ‘turquoise’. I’m right of course ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I think it’s probably this shade although as I got it in a bargain cone, it wasn’t labelled. Of course, I got it two years ago on a bargain cone, so it could be a colour they don’t do any more.
