"teal" is the name for color "Moderate bluish green" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teal
Yes, and since Teal is Cyan with 50% Value, you will often also see people use Cyan to refer to the boundary color between Blue and Green.

#52I 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.
100%. It's like being asked is this black or white and being shown 50% grey.
That is the point of the exercise though. Is 50% really where you draw the line?

#53This 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.
Someone should make a parody site asking whether shades of yellow are red or violet.

#54Should this be called "Is my monitor's blue your monitor's blue?"
And what if you are wearing blue blocker readers? I am, and perhaps unsurprisingly my result was greener than average.
ETA: But of course when I retook the test without my glasses, I went even greener.

#55After 4 clicks, I can no longer decide whether it is green or blue. I would pick "neither" if it were offered

#57The 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!
You've got the blues.

Your example would only be valid if "blue" and "green" had objective answers for when something is Blue and something is Green and have clear demarcated boundaries. You're switching to a literal boundary example where there are actual lines to be crossed. Colors are a fuzzy continuum; national boundaries, not including fought-over areas like the Sea of Japan, are easy to be in or not.

#59This is awesome! I have a slight case of tritanopia in one eye and it was neat to see the difference. My boundary is bluer by 59% in one eye and 87% in the other. It tracks with what I would have expected.

#60I was always fascinated by this kind of question as a kid. Like I would imagine that everyone had all the colors mixed up and we were each seeing something different.
