[Closed] What colour is this?

Green.

Females would probably describe it as aquatic green or some such shade.

Gold and White

Green

(mint) green 😆

I can't see anything apart from a blue and gold dress. Am I missing something?

Bread

(duck egg) green

It's a shade of green

Teal

There is a dress? All I see is a MTB forum.

Turquoise you fool.

What did they teach you in school? Richard Of York Gave ****ting Battle In Vain?

Stop sitting on the fence, pick a colour, damnit, man.

Gold and White

Get out.

I can't see anything apart from a blue and gold dress. Am I missing something?

And you.

Oi

I cracked that one first

Is it imperial mint?

That's Turquoise.

Compare to this:

Teal

*sigh*

Green or blue? Blue or green? Pick one. (I was trying to avoid weighting it by mentioning the colours but you're all clearly too fancy for that notion. I blame Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen.)

Jade colour.

It's neither.

That's like asking if orange is a shade of red or a shade of yellow.

I give up. 😐

I say turquoise and the missus says duck egg blue.....so we will sit on the fence

How very dare you. I cycled from Paignton to Torquay with my '92 Kona Explosif frame freshly resprayed in that very colour (ish), slung over my shoulder, so if my opinion is that it's Turquoise, it's f****** Turquoise! 😀

looks like the colour that some Yeti's are painted...

Turquoise?

Is that right?

Sea foam Green..

Best offer there.......

Blue if you follow the logic of a thread a few weeks back about how ancient populations perceived colour.

First instinct - Green

More specific - Turquoise

All IMO of course

Aquamarine, the colour of a warm clear sea over a golden sand bed 😉

Ok, right, let's try this instead: if someone showed you a shade of orange, which was definitely orange, you could say "That's more red" or "That's more yellow" right? So, is that shade of turquoise/teal/duck-egg/yeti/aquamarine/whatever more [b]blue[/b], or more [b]green[/b]?

Don't make me get the glove puppets out to explain this.

That's teal. It's the complimentary colour to orange and the two make up the vast majority of modern TV / film output palettes these days. Look out for it.

If the question is "blue or green" then it's a sort of bluish-green (so mostly green). Does that help?

Just green then. The stw grey background is skewing it to blue.

a sort of bluish-green (so mostly green). Does that help?

Yes! Just the "mostly green" bit would have sufficed but thanks for playing. 😀

Pick a matching wavelength, find your answer

I say green so does the missus.

Really you should be letting us know what your missus thinks and what you think so we can berate either one of you accordingly.

It's turquiose, or a very light teal. trust me, i'm a drunk interior decorator.

What happened to Indigo?

Compares with Yeti in Kitchen, Yep Turquoise 😀

I said (sea foam) Green in my response before and I mean (sea foam) Green now.

HTH's.

Trycolors.com

See if you can replicate it..

Green (if we're limited to Green vs Blue)

Glove puppets.

NOW.

What happened to Indigo?

Hello.

[img] [/img]

Well I just went [url= http://www.perbang.dk/rgb/63C3AF/ ]here[/url], which looks well clever, and it tells me it's 'greyish turquoise'. Stupid computers, what do they know? Pah.

It's green, by the way. Teal isn't a colour.

Grr.

GrahamS, you wouldn't happen to have 6 fingers on your right hand would you?

Green

76.5% green and 68.6% blue

HA!

Case closed, I win.

But, but, but - that's more than 100%!!

I believe indigo was wedged into the spectrum so there were seven colours so it matched the days of the week for some biblical significance.

ROYGBIV - That's what I was taught

Newton divided his color circle, which he constructed to explain additive color mixing, into seven colors. His color sequence including the tertiary color indigo is kept alive today by the Roy G. Biv mnemonic. Originally he used only five colors, but later he added orange and indigo, in order to match the number of musical notes in the major scale

Beige?

But, but, but - that's more than 100%!!

Yeah, it's RGB, there's three values of 0%-100%. So 100% red, 100% green, 100% blue is white, 0%R, 0%G, 0%B is black, and so on. Just divide them all by 3 if you need it to add up to 100%, it's completely arbitrary.

🙄

But, but, but - that's more than 100%!!

Close to, but not quite Celeste!

🙄

Oh sorry. Had a couple this evening, not very quick on the uptake... 😉

Beige?

That's not a colour. It's a lifestyle choice.

In related news, cheers folks, I'm getting a Transition Supressor!

(Once I've saved up for the damn thing, and moved house, and done all the other crap I need to do.)

When did Bianchi buy Transition?

Amusingly, scotroutes, you were actually bang on and first with the right answer, Transition call that colour teal. Still green though.

Let's not get started on 'What colour is celeste?' eh? We'll be here all night...

Why would you want a blue bike?

Newton concluded that light is composed of coloured particles, which combine to appear white. He introduced the term 'colour spectrum' and, although the spectrum appears continuous, with no distinct boundaries between the colours, he chose to divide it into seven: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Newton chose the number seven as this reflected the Ancient Greek belief that it is a mystical number due to the fact that there are seven 'wandering stars' and seven days in a week, a quarter of the time between two full Moons.

Seems we're all right. Days, musical notes and stars.

Definitely a shade of green going by this

verdigris

Is that Mark's Teal?

(Oh, how I've been waiting for that!)

It's turquoise. Teal is a du....oh right, someone already said.

Why would you want a blue bike?

🙁

The answer is shade of Ball and Bloody Farrow, otherwise the colour would not exist (beyond Yeti bike frames). I'm sure CFH and McMoonter have used this colour around the home to +/- one shade or other. 🙂

GrahamS, you wouldn't happen to have 6 fingers on your right hand would you?

Left, wasn't it?

I can settle this once and for all with an exact Pantone reference.

Shall I get my swatches?

What's the dif between RAL and Pantone? genuine Q?

Never mind all these percentages and Pantone numbers.
The correct answer is: you are wrong, and your "missus" is right 🙄

In related news, cheers folks, I'm getting a Transition Supressor!

And finally the whole bloody point of the thread clicks into place 😆

Minty is only allowed to buy green bikes.

I can settle this once and for all with an exact Pantone reference.

Shall I get my swatches?

Sure, if your fancy-pants swatches do proper colours like 'Green' and 'Blue' without any of this ridiculous 'Aquamacelezurroisealium pink' bobbins.

Professional opinion, green or blue? Go on...

Wouldn't it be simpler to get it in black?

You mean very, very, very dark blue?

The colour is green not blue.
Does that help .
I do have qualifications and experience to back up my opinion.

Wouldn't it be simpler to get it in black?

Yes but...

Minty is only allowed to buy green bikes.

...and that's mostly to stop me swapping 2nd hand bikes every other ride, so I'm not allowed to do respraying and whatnot. Got to be properly green all over too, not just stickers or details.

To be honest, this is sufficiently contentious that I'm not sure I should go for it. If there's a shadow of a doubt about whether or not it's really green then I think I can't allow it. Oh well, back to dreaming about that Yeti SB6C again.

This one? 😕

[img] [/img]

Nah.

[img] [/img]

That one. Now THAT, that is green. 😀

But that has bits of turquoise on the forks, and the seat rails 🙄
