    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.

        As its RGB values are 017A86 it’s actually 52.55% blue.

        It’s CYAN. Teal and turquoise are shades of cyan. Cyan is a primary color. This post is like asking if yellow is red or green.

          It’s definitely yellow.

          But, for real, OP is having a struggle with it for this reason.

          If something is 50% G and 50% B, it is neither one or the other. It’s exactly where C sits. If it is 75% G and 25% B, you could say it’s green. But if I asked if it’s green or cyan, we’ll have the same issue again, sinc it’s. 50% G and 50% C.

          OP gotta learn their colour spectrum a bit more.

          Cyan is a primary color when working subtractively, but for additive color the primaries are RGB. Since this is on a screen, green and blue would be the relevant primaries

              Are we talking additive or subtractive color? If additive then yellow is the secondary of green and red, and magenta the secondary of blue and red

      Teal is greenish blue, turquoise is bluish green. But tbh why not consider both of them colours of their own. Green isn’t a primary colour either, if we consider that its own colour, why stop there?

        Green is primary though, for additive color. For subtractive color, cyan is a primary color.

        I think it’s crazy how everyone acts like cyan doesn’t exist. This original post is like saying, “is this [yellow] red or green?”

      The problem was that for some colors i would say its blue and they would say its green, but for other colors i would say its green and they would say its blue

        ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That’s just part of the fun. The colours are based RGB values so they are what they are.

      This annoys me. It keeps showing me cyan, but only giving me the options of green or blue. Cyan is neither. It’s freaking cyan! It’s a subtractive primary colour!

      (Don’t get me started on art teachers insisting the primary colours for paint are red, yellow and blue. Naff off with that crap. Go look at printer ink, then naff right off again.)

    When my phone is on low brightness it looks teal, when it’s bright it looks more turquoise, either way I’d say more blue than green

    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.
