>> Your boundary is at hue 177, bluer than 76% of the population. For you, turquoise is green. Not really sure how to interpret this. Where is "normal" on the curve?
The About section at the end said most people average around 175.

#13Who else tried with both eyes? A few years ago I had an implant to treat cataracts. It was notable at the time that the "new" eye was less yellow-tinted than the aged-in-place eye. I was told that the lens does yellow with age. Over time, my brain mostly adjusted, but on this test I did notice a subtle hue difference between eyes. Did anyone else try that experiment?
Can you accommodate with the implant?

#14Should this be called "Is my monitor's blue your monitor's blue?"

#15I think this site is doing a binary search, so that you narrow down on a boundary.
It would be much funnier, and also more insightful, if it didn't do this and let you contradict yourself.

#16I think there's an anchoring effect in play here. If you select blue -> blue -> green -> blue -> green -> blue -> green…, you land at the population median.
(The point being that, once you get to a somewhat ambiguous point (after two blue selections), you can say "oh, well, compared to the last one this is {opposite color}!", and it seems most people do that.)

#17> Your boundary is at hue 172, greener than 63% of the population. For you, turquoise is blue.
isn't turquoise exactly (50%) between the two?

#18The other week my wife and I were disagreeing over whether a house was green or blue. I was shocked when every passerby we asked agreed with her that it was green. I was absolutely 100% sure it was blue. Turns out according to this site, my boundary is greener than 95% of the population! Funny to see this proved out here!
Same situation happened to me, and I have same test result as you.

#19I think the alternative should be "this is not blue". I was served what I would call a "teal" or "turquoise" but the alternative button shows "this is green", which it was not.
I totally agree with you but it defeats the purpose of the site. It got to an obviously cyan color and I couldn't answer either way (it's not blue or green) so I closed it.
Same here, it's often neither blue nor green, so this experiment is pointless.

#20How much does display calibration factor into this? I'm fairly confident it must impact the results, but unsure how much error it would introduce.
