That's teal as all heck. The actual hue is 785, it's right between blue and green. To me it looks more green, though 785 is (barely) closer to blue than green.


The green value is 92% of the blue value, but I would trust the hue over that for other colours. "I can't believe we're actually going to paint a room blue!" Neither can I, because you aren't looking at blue paint. Someone help me out here, explain to me that most people you know refer to teal as "blue". Maybe Mae is setting up a joke here. I know it's pedantic, but I'm not usually shaking my hands in the air about it-- Mae herself does that more than I do.

Maybe both Mae and Liz have issues with this-- but they're characters closely based on real people, one of whom has professional-grade digital drawing/painting tools in use on a daily basis. That makes it weird. If Bubs was a guest in this comic, I bet she could settle it for us.

The interdimensional portals in the doorways of their home I can deal with-- but this is just bizarre. There's even a relevant QC strip, where Jeph passes the test: https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5

teal the seal:
As a fellow pedant and aesthete, I must say I disagree, except, via this monitor, about panel 4. On my other monitors, it seemed bluer, and even on this monitor, the color sample Liz is holding seems bluer. I suspect the visual environs are affecting the perception of the same distribution of wavelengths.

Apart from the technical or perceptual, there are also some classifications of color that have blue and green mutually subsumed. As we all know, our colors are never only one certain combination of wavelengths, but an entire class. Even black, even white, each comprise many shades. It is a most interesting area on the frontier of our aesthetical enterprises, the classification of such classifications.

I suppose with a name like yours-- in all fairness, if it was teal-- you would probably know.


As to my question about whether teal can be blue (given that there is a SLIGHTLY greater blue value than green in the image) Wikipedia had this to say:
Teal blue is a medium tone of teal with more blue. The first recorded use of teal blue as a color name in English was in 1927.[9]

The source of this color is the Plochere Color System, a color system formulated in 1948 that is widely used by interior designers. Teal was subsequently a heavily used color in the 1950s and 1960s.[10]Teal blue is also the name of a Crayola crayon color (color #113) from 1990 to 200

teal the seal:
Oh, no. I was named after this thread. q: As for those two teal blue colors Plochere's definitely looks blue to me on all my monitors, but Crayola's, via my greener monitor, seems only slightly greener than panel 4. Actually, my first reaction to that page was Did you even wait for it to dry first? because it looked so different to my eye from the sample ticket.

(Is there an eyedropper tool for web-browsers? To click on a color to copy the components vector.)

It's a rare breed indeed who can cite well about important topics. Sadly, I've relied too often on my naïty, even as rigorously as I have.
