  Color perception is very subjective, because color learning differs from childhood to childhood. That specific color is between the yellow and red range, although it is closer to the ideal yellow. Some people learned that this still counts as yellow, while others learned that this is yellow is "red enough" to count as orange.

    Fascinating. I see it as yellow. This also hints at the "qualia" mystery...

    Whilst colour can be subjective, in this case it is clearly yellow and a mistake by the OP, because the preceding bar is clearly orange.

      Display technology also varies quite a bit. Some cheaper devices tend to saturate certain hues like redness. It could very well look a bit more orange on one display and look completely yellow on another.

      The middle bar looks red to me.

      not everything has to be binary. In fact outside of math and deterministic CS, we hardly have the comfort of being clearly wrong or right. https://www.cs.rit.edu/~rlaz/prec20092/slides/BayesianDecisionTheory.pdf https://www.cs.rit.edu/~rlaz/prec20092/slides/BayesianDecisi...

      > the preceding bar is clearly orange. With a hue of 7˚[0] the middle color is in the middle of the red range[1], it's on the pink side of scarlet (8.5˚, 100%, 100%). The rightmost bar has a hue of 47˚[2] making it an orange-yellow[3], calling it an orange (if a light one) is not insane.

        From your link, compare the red RBG bar to the clearly orange bars at the side of the screen. Additionally the 'Analogous Colors' contains an even more obvious orange, and pink, but no sign of red.

          > From your link, compare the red RBG bar to the clearly orange bars at the side of the screen. I see red all around. > Additionally the 'Analogous Colors' contains an even more obvious orange, and pink, but no sign of red. Hue-wise, red is in the middle of orange and pink, if your analogous colors are orange and pink your base is a red. That's exactly what you get for scarlet: http://www.color-hex.com/color/ff2400 http://www.color-hex.com/color/ff2400 or pure straight no-frills red: http://www.color-hex.com/color/ff0000 http://www.color-hex.com/color/ff0000

            Arguing about this over the internet is somewhat comical, as you are probably being represented by your computers at least slightly differing colors, and at most entirely different colors, due to things like screen quality, viewing angle (if LCD), brightness/contrast settings, etc. Trying to use specific descriptions are can be replicated by a computer is a good step, but ultimately of little use if you can't be sure that same color is represented the same to who you are talking to. I mean, obviously, the color is blue. Or is it gold? In any case, it's definitely a dress...

      It's clearly red.

  There are oranges which have that color, but I wouldn't buy one.
