Reply to: When Im feeling blue

[northernladuk]

Tough that first one. Started second guessing it half way though so I think I'll be further right next time. A few I felt i had to pick blue because i did for previous ones but 167 for me.

Second was fun. Got 4 on that but i started going colour blind by the third one.

Ah, right you are. While I love Prussian Blue, it not quite right (for me) as a sky colour, but I’ll try adding it to Ultra Marine and see if that works.

For me it is Tiepolo Blue, the colour of the sky over the Venetian Lagoon.

I was suggesting Prussian blue as an alternative to Cobalt. Although I might be being a bit dim and missing a gag somewhere.

Prussian Blue?

179 for me.

I wonder if the "bluer than 85% of the population" statement is adjusted the more people do the test

I'm not sure the test is that accurate on a computer screen. Certainly, on my laptop, the greenness/blueness varies depending on the vertical viewing angle.

Darn it. Now I've got "A Groovy Kind of Love" stuck in my head.

another one?

Ooh, that was trickier. I got 8 on xrite.

With the 1st one, towards the end of the test:
- if I lower my line of sight the screen looks green
- if I raise my line of sight it looks blue

Probably my laptop screen but makes it virtually impossible to get consistent results.

With the 2nd one, got 0.

[vetran]

24 on the second apparently

[Snooky]

175 and 0 for me

[eek]

174 and 4 for me.
