The way that XKCD did it is the best, you ask people to give a name to each color then the responses are entirely natural and unprompted.
I don’t think that forced choice can give accurate results if a substantial number of people perceive green and blue as being non-adjacent - i.e. there exists a color between green and blue (turquoise/cyan/teal).
Otherwise it’s like asking people whether a color is red or yellow, when it’s clearly a shade of orange.
- ljsprague 2y agoSome shades of orange are closer to red and some are closer to yellow.
- zarzavat 2y agoYes but saying that a shade of orange is closer to yellow is different from saying that it is yellow. Orange is closer to green than blue but I wouldn’t say that it’s a shade of green. It’s just orange.

No it's like asking people whether a color is red or green, when it's clearly a shade of yellow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_wheel#/media/File%3ALinear_RGB_color_wheel.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_wheel#/media/File%3ALine...
