Im left delighted to find out something new, but left wanting to know how to use it. Like if im 75% on the green transition, how do i use this information.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
That is the point of the exercise though. Is 50% really where you draw the line?
But the point is, there is no line which separates white and black (or green and blue). 50% grey is neither black nor white, it's grey. Turquoise is neither green nor blue, it's turquoise.
The 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!
I am bluer than 78%. Colors. How do they work.
If I'm off on a detail like that, then...uh oh.

This makes no sense. It's like asking: "Alice is in Denver. Is Alice in (a) Canada or (b) Mexico?" - Your boundary between Canada and Mexico is at 40° latitude, more southern than 53% of the population.
There's teal, cyan, aquamarine, etc...It's such a uniquely american notion to force someone to categorize something (incorrectly) into one of 2 things. Almost a comical parallel to the political system.
I 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.
Thats the exact point of this experiment to define the inbetween and move it to either green or blue. :/
