I mean, it really just tests arbitrary word usage. I have no fucking clue if turquoise is supposed to be "green" or "blue", it's turquoise!

- ibash 2y agoNah turquoise is green.
- MathMonkeyMan 2y agoApparently I thought so as well. Then again, my display is in night mode...
- ibash 2y agoOh shit. Turned off night mode and switched sides!
- ninetyninenine 2y agoNo turquoise is blue.
- chronogamous 2y agoWithin the ISCC–NBS System of Color Designation Turqoise (#40E0D0) is classified as a brilliant bluish green. Turquoise blue (#00FFEF) is close to turquoise on the color wheel, but slightly more blue. More metrics, including sRGB, can be found on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turquoise_(color) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turquoise_(color)
- langcss 2y agoA bit like "is this hotdog overpriced" amd trying to binary search the exact cent where it became overpriced.
- Bluecobra 2y agoThat’s easy, any hot dog that is more than $1.50 USD is overpriced.
- eCa 2y agoBut you get the price in another currency, and don’t know the exact exchange rate (in place of monitor calibration).
- pjc50 2y agoParent was a joke about the Costco fixed price hotdog. UK Costco hotdogs are £1.50, which is not equal to $1.50, reflecting both its arbitrary nature and that UK purchasing power is weaker than the exchange rate would appear. (Computer books are a frequent offender here of having the same $ and £ prices)
- mrweasel 2y agoThat might be a language issue. In Danish it's common to use "turkis blå", i.e. turquoise blue. Then again, you can also use "turkis grøn", turquoise green.
- mewpmewp2 2y agoBut with green/blue there is certain opinion that I have at least.
- arcxi 2y agothe real question is whether orange is red or yellow
- hypertele-Xii 2y agoTurquoise is dark cyan, no? So equal parts green and blue.
