I think things are green that other people think are grey. Never heard of that with anyone else.

Can we get this with more different colors.

Like forest green olive green. navy blue.

Also maybe the full color spectrum. And a select set of colors to pick from.

I just took it to mean is this more blue or green rather than literally blue or green. Correct answer is then 180, anything else is clearly a fail :)

I got hue 175 twice, but bluer than 66% of the population once and 59% the second time.

This assumes that the person you're testing isn't aware of the whole category of colors that sit between green and blue?

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.

it's a neat experiment but I think it's ultimately flawed because color is usually perceived in context, and depending on context I could easily see anyone reinterpreting the hues they labeled "green" in this test as blue, and vice versa.

EDIT: in general, blue is a pretty fascinating color. yes, many cultures have a somewhat blurry distinction between blue and green. Some others seem to differentiate shades of blue that others don't (i.e. in Russian "голубой" and "синий" refer to distinct colors but in English those would be just shades of blue). I guess there's something about photons in that energy band that messes with perception. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-photo_blue
