On the third step, this is turquoise and there is no button for that answer.

This is really great. Love the chart at the end. Apparently I evaluate heavily toward thinking green is blue.

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.

Send it to a significant other, then discuss your differences. Will provide you with a new in-joke.

Also no way to account for the variation of LCD displays. The same "colour" can look different on two different panels

> 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?

The "exact 50%", or the boundary between green and blue, is nominally hue 180, which is cyan. A search for the RGB, CMYK and HSL for turquoise yielded a few hue values from 171 to 174 (depending who you trust, and allowing for a bit of drift due to colorspace conversions). In any case, 171, 172, 173, and 174 are all on the green side of cyan.

I used to own a house in California which I swore was peach, my coworker told me face it the house is pink.

Would be cool to see a gender distribution. Women perceive more colours than men, wonder how it impacts this.

Wow. Did anyone else have some serious trouble with this?

The first color was obvious to me, as it was designed to be (it even tells you if you intentionally misclick). But at the very next color, the first "test color", I literally face palmed and said "oh my god" out loudly.

It was so, so hard for me to decide. I really just wanted to pick a non-existent "teal" option. Both "blue" or "green" felt wrong and equally right at the same time.

It just got harder from there. At the end, it told me that my threshold is "bluer than 80% of the population", but honestly, I don't think that's really true in my case. I was so ambivalent, my choices really felt random to me very quickly.
