There's something wrong with Liz (Real Life Comics)
teal the seal:
I took it as an opportune example by which to start discussing the finer points of color perception.
This forum is more popular than that forum.

Pretty much exactly what you see here, a discussion from intelligent people about colour. I assumed that I wasn't the only person self-identified as a bit pedantic enough to manage it, and I called that one.
I was also hoping someone had a piece of information I considered obscure and unlikely, but eventually I found that myself. I still think it looks very teal, of course. But now at least there is evidence that a reasonable person could call it blue. (At least, I can tolerate the argument that "teal blue exists, and by name is a type of blue".) I don't expect this to be settled, necessarily-- like via an eleventh commandment on stone tablet. But "blue" seems to have been adequately defended here, and thus Liz and Mae as well.
As to whether it might have gone better at the RL forums-- I don't know. People already discuss other comics here, I'm happy with the results myself.

1. I have deuteranopia. (Red-Green colorblindness)
2. First person who can honestly tell me the difference between the two shades from Friday's and Today's comic (10/16 and 10/19/20), please do.
hedgie:
Today's comic has both shades on the wall for an easy comparison (one mostly, but not entirely overlapping the other). That said, it's not an oh so huge difference, which I'm pretty sure is the joke.
sitnspin:
One is a slightly lighter tone than the other. From experience, although on a small patch the difference might not seem that great, when spread across an entire wall, the difference becomes much more apparent.
