Really Quick Question: What is the color of this shirt.

[Kian]

It's very close. I think either side has an argument.

But that's the image of the sweater, not the actual sweater itself (lighting differences, camera quality, etc.)
I'd say a sort of cool grey or bluish grey (not greyish blue.)

I adjusted the exposure on my camera and turned off the flash to make sure the color of the image, and the real thing were as close as possible.

Now, my argument for it being blue, is that blue is present. Grey is a shade of white/black, and for it to be called gray, it would not contain any colors besides white and black. By this, I declare it to be FREAKING BLUE. Do I think there is gray present? Absolutely. Is grey the dominant color in the shirt? Not a chance bub.

Haha I'm taking this way to seriously. But answer me this. Which of these two links is closest to the shirt?

No. Your definition of grey is the neutral grey it is the combination of the primary colors in equal amounts. Slightly more blue makes it a cool grey, slightly more red makes it a warm grey. I do not like naming colors because it's too subjective, you will never get it wrong if you give the numbers of the components of R, G, and B.

1. Neither from sight immediately; you can the exact numbers and calculate the distance between Shirt(R,G,B) and Color(R,G,B). I will not do that unless you seriously challenge me to do that.

2. Both are more blue than your shirt.

It's blue.

Looking at fanwuq's RGB coordinates, and turning them into hue/saturation/luminosity we get 143 50 126. The 143 hue definitely corresponds to blue (a slightly turquoise blue, in fact), but a saturation of 50 (out of 255) means that the color is very unsaturated, so it's really much closer to grey than to blue. Arguing whether it's grey or blue is somewhat silly as it could be considered either or both.

 

[JLarsen]

Of course it's silly qqwref....we're arguing over shirt color.

....i still think it's blue.....=P

Looks grey to me.

 

[jcuber]

It is my professional opinion as a sighted, non-colourblind person, that the shirt is neither gray nor blue but a mixture of the two. I can't say for sure which color is more dominant based upon the possibility of colour differences between the screen and real life.

It looks green to me. I squint, I move me head, I blink and it's still green. Only a slight hint of green, but I can obviously tell that it's green.



Maybe it's the orange-tinted goggles I'm wearing.
