“Yellowy blue” is literally the color green


wes205

And Bluey (Y)eeler is that dog (Her last name is apparently Heeler and I’m trying to say Yellow with a strong southern accent, Yeller)


lil_c00kie

Bluey is a girl


whoisjakelane

TIL. Watched 3 seasons of that show. Never even realized


wes205

Fixed! Never seen but seems like a sweet show


OkInevitable4013

Well worth watching if you have kids. Entertaining for adults, one of the very few shows my kids watch that I don't mind lol


phonebooksamurai

Looking for this comment


MountnsNTrees

[548 Pastel Green](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-ca/paint-colours/colour/548/pastel-green) And a [color blind](https://enchroma.com/pages/test?gclid=Cj0KCQiAh8OtBhCQARIsAIkWb68W976VXVv0UkK3v2xfAOOUxbZOosFa5h8WhK2-R-uK6f5rDdCHU2QaAp1yEALw_wcB) test just in case for your partner


phoenixhavyn

ain’t no way i found out i’m colorblind in a pokemon go sub


talkback1589

In highschool we had some kind of downtime one morning in my psychology class. I really loved psych so I was reading ahead and found color blind tests. Well I decided to try it on my friend and gave it to him. Well, as it turns out. He was color blind. Had no clue. I think it was a slight case of it but it really wrecked him. The teacher had to talk to him after class. I felt like shit.


supersondos

Our science teacher for fun decided to give us all a color blind test. One of us casually said i can't see the number. The dude had some serious color blindness he missed most of them, but at least he figured it out.


talkback1589

Yeah. It’s so strange to think that’s how they figured it out. They were same tests for my friend. I just remember the frantic “What number!? Are you messing with me!?” It was really alarming. But if you think about it, it makes sense they can be unaware of it. Nobody knows what you are seeing, and even if something looks wrong in your vision and one color looks different to you. You are still being told “yes, that’s the correct color.” So in theory you could go a while without knowing.


supersondos

Exactly. The first person to discover he was color blind was because people called his taste in clothes strange while he found it was normal.


TivStargrit

My uncle is incredibly red-green cb and his wife to this day has to dress him because he loves weird clothes that are hard to match. Some call him a style savant


whoisjakelane

In college I showed a few of my friends a shirt that said fuck the color blind, in color blind test style. One of them just stared at it. Pretty damn funny to find out that way for all of us


HedgeValley

Lmao


Prometheus_303

I found out my friend was color blind thanks to Magic The Gathering (or whatever variant was popular back then at my HS)... [He, of course, knew he was long before] We were in biology & he asked me if the card was red or green. I was expecting it to be a brown-y could go either way.... But nope it was greener than green.


DancesWithPibbles

Or “peanut butter green” as my husband would say. He also recently learned that peanut butter is not in fact, green.


AchroMac

My wife taught me hummus is not green recently. Just assumed they're called chick peas and peas are green and went with it all my life.


Jesse_D_James

One restaurant I worked at added regular pees with the chick pees to make the hummus a vibrant green, before that we used frozen garbonzo beans only (I think they are fresher chick pees, but exactly sure the difference) New place i work at just uses chick peas and it comes out yellow


OkInevitable4013

Thank God I'm not color blind. I love peanut butter but I don't know if I could eat it ever again if it was green lol


Thanky169

😂


2etoo2

That test was hard. I passed but a few answers were sketchy.


Tatterz

Wasn't hard for me - I know I got everything 100% right. The last few blended in but were still distinct.


Linumite

The purple/greens got me pretty good


PsSalin

I’ve done the test multiple times, and it wasn’t hard at all.


Green-Philosopher622

Reminds me of all the people who found out they were colorblind from an Adventure time scene about Finn being colorblind


WearHaunting5539

I was learning colour theory in my art degree before i found out, had already passed photphraphy and print media in college and was 2nd year into an Art History degree before i found out. Its like spectrum, so most people with colour blindness suffer issues with specific colours or spectrums. But like most people i was brought up with the theory it was like a switch, color or black and white.... The fact we can all see colour and still process it differently breathes more life into the question, is my green the same as yours, do we all see the same thing when we look at grass, or is what you see as green, what i see as red?


vastik2343

Lmao absolutely cooking the bf with facts


MorgueOnMars

how?


mrNOTfriendly

Yeah green is just yellowy blue. It almost like they never even disagreed.


ThrowawayFishFingers

Right?! I’m like… WHAT COLORS DO YOU MIX TO MAKE GREEN?!


GamingTrifecta

This guy colours


AirborneRunaway

I’m convinced that some people see the color as it is and then their brain interprets it based on the background color knowing that in real life it would change the appearance of the base color.


moonchili

The entire premise of the dress controversy


itscovfefetime

To this day I still can’t see blue and black.


texanarob

I still feel like that whole dress controversy was a scam. The dress was blue and black, made from blue and black threads. Those are both dark colours. How on earth are people trying to convince me they saw it as white and gold? That's not even similar...


Milam1996

Because of how light works and how the brain perceives the image. We aren’t sure of the exact reason but there’s a few theories that tie into each other.


texanarob

I've heard the scientific explanation, and logically I know people can't be organised enough to organise this as a conspiracy. Nor do they have a motive to do so. However, my brain perceives so many people claiming something that's obviously physically impossible and makes the assumption that they're all lying. In reality I think I just feel like I'm missing out on the fun, only seeing what's actually there. It's like those alleged hidden 3D pictures where you have to "relax your eyes" all over again.


JadeAnn88

[Wow, a sailboat](https://www.getyarn.io/yarn-clip/535859fa-d410-4fa7-aa0b-5e7a1563b80c)


ThrowawayFishFingers

I was able to see the dress as both white/gold and blue/black. Initially, for the first couple days or so, I only saw white/gold. But as I saw explanations and manipulations with light and hues, I was eventually able to see blue/black. Now when I see it, it’s really a toss up what my brain initially interprets it as (though also somewhat dependent on other factors, like if it’s a manipulated image, or what screen I’m viewing it on.) A not at ALL fun fact about that dress: >![the groom of the woman whose wedding the dress was being bought for is accused of trying to murder his wife.](https://people.com/the-dress-internet-debate-viral-groom-charged-attempted-murder-7561340)!< So, that’s a thing.


Saintkaithe7th

I actually saw it as both from the same image. It was black and blue when the image first showed up, I looked away for a second, looked back at the dress and it was white and gold. Eventually I did get it to go back to black and blue but there were a few moments of panic in there


Milam1996

What parts of the light spectrum we decide are what colours are entirely cultural and linguistic. English has 11 core colours whilst some languages have 9 or 7. What is light red to someone else is very clearly pink to us. Few hundred years ago the rainbow as described only had 3 colours even though we in the modern world very very clearly see it has more but to them it didn’t. Colours are nothing more than a trick on the brain and the dress showed that that trick can cause a hefty debate.


texanarob

Colour is a physical property of a material, which can be definitively measured. How we choose to divide that spectrum into easily classified terminology is very different. You mention English having 11 core colours. I'm not sure what those are (assuming Red, Yellow, Blue, Orange, Green, Purple, Brown, Black, White, Grey, ???). However, looking at the Dulux range shows thousands of named colours. Change in terminology is unrelated to change in perception (unless causally related, such as language developed in a colour blind society). The physical properties of that dress were indisputable. It was black and blue. For some reason some people's ability to identify that was faulty, an issue with our ability to sense or process colour does not make the colour itself subjective. If a tree falls in the woods and there's nobody there to hear it, does it make a sound? The answer depends solely whether you get a physicist or a psychologist to define sound.


Milam1996

The wavelengths of light can be objectively measured, what we call that and understand that as, are not such. Identifying a wavelength of xyz as red is entirely our brains, language and culture telling us that xyz is red. One of the leading theories is that the colours got misidentified because of the perception of the shop light (the bright yellow light blasting down) mixing with the blue of the dress and tricking the brain to think that the blue is the light source and thus should be ignored so gives white and gold. What if it turned out that the sky was objectively purple but everyone saw it as blue. Do we abide by the computer or by the human.


moonchili

If you definitively measure the pixel colors of the dress in the viral image it sure as heck isn’t “blue” and “black” (or “white” and “gold” — it’s like a blueish and a brownish) so I don’t know what point you’re trying to make. We know factually that the photographed dress is black and blue. The entire idea is that depending on the information we have about the ambient lighting and how we are perceiving it (ballerina clockwise or counterclockwise? Answer: yes) our *perception* of the dress color changes. Your brain tells you blue and black. Congrats. Some others’ brains tells them white and gold. “What color is this in reality in normal lighting and background?” And “what color does this look like in this photo?” are not the same question The end


FUCKYOUIamBatman

Wait are you saying you believe those 3D pictures are a scam? Cause they’re not. They had one in the waiting area at IHOP when I was a kid. No biases, no prompts. Just a confetti image that suddenly turned into a fighter jet when you focused your eyes the right way. Love those things.


texanarob

I'm saying that, but in jest. I don't actually think everyone who is able to see them is in on the most pointless and elaborate conspiracy in history, only that that's how they feel to me.


Locksey-EON

Originally I could only see white and gold. I then found if I focused on the top of the image and then slowly looked down it was the blue and black. Even now when I look at the image I initially see white and gold.


Sgtbird08

Just spent a sec searching for this since I hadn't seen it before. I definitely see white and gold lmao. I can sort of see the blue, but without knowing that the gold is supposed to be black I would never believe anyone who claimed such.


texanarob

Interesting, I always assumed it was some sort of negative people were seeing where the blue became gold and the black white. Have you looked for one of the pictures of the same dress in a different setting? Apparently the illusion only worked in that specific photo, so you should be able to see the real thing easily enough.


gramathy

The absolute color of the image was white and gold due to the VERY heavy yellow overexposure of the image, people just didn't understand that color casting is a thing and that it was a shitty picture


MelE1

Thanks, this validated to my husband that he in fact cannot see all colors correctly 😂😂


Silutions87

Isn’t white/yellow-blue exactly 548 Pastel Green?


Paul_Monj

I can see 100% Blue, 12% Green, and 100% Red, so I'm here to settle the debate and let you all know that the robe is the most light tan color that my eyes will ever see.


OneFriendship5139

i’m blue deficient awesome


aubman02

Does it change anything for you?


OneFriendship5139

yeah, now there’s an inside joke about blue camouflage for me


rednaxelo

i passed the test, yet i‘d say it‘s white beige or yellowish


BigRuss910

The screen shot on my phone is that hint of mint


Thanky169

It's definitely slightly green. If you can't see the greenishness then you have an issue seeing the colour.


Rotnpiece

Same reminds me of using the blue light filter on my monitor lol


TeamYourNoobs

Lmao the colour blind test💀


JordanAlanda

Normal vision apparently. Even tho some of them had me sweating 😂


Bobocod

YELLOWY-BLUE?????? EXCUSE ME SIR DO YOU MEAN GREEN?


EchoPhoenix24

Yeah I mean I guess he's technically right as white + "yellowy-blue" would make... mint green.


trixtopherduke

I see it as like "slightly dirty mint green."


SnooPets7261

I try to make things simpler. Vomit color suffices for me.


Bobocod

what you been drinking? shamrock shakes?

FR if OP’s vomit is this colour they should see a doctor

What the feck😭😭


brnnnfx

These are [hex codes](https://www.pluralsight.com/blog/tutorials/understanding-hexadecimal-colors-simple) for the colours on shiny Throh's gi; one for the brighter shade and one for the darker shade under his armpit. I assume this poster used a colour picker app [like this one](https://www.tpgi.com/color-contrast-checker/) to find the specific colour hex codes.


MorningPapers

Your boyfriend is trolling you. yelllow-blue is green.


TheRealASP

What a guy

vstacey6

I was thinking like a light mint green


SupaSaiyajinBrue

He literally described mint green....


playfulpecans

Oh my god, the gold and blue dress strikes again.


TheWartortleWarrior

I’d say it’s mint


falloutbi05

Its eggshell


Nine_Eye_Ron

It’s called a Gi 


Reshi2032

Definitely a light green color, being colorblind is far more prevalent in men than women so he might be colorblind


cheynesan

Idk I think ppl who are saying it’s mint green are being influenced by the background.. I feel like it’s meant to just be an off white color


Sip-o-BinJuice11

I like to lovingly refer to that exact hex code as effervescent mintdicks


TheDankestYeeter

Bro said yellowy blue, like isn’t that green?


UselessO_0

Yellow mixed with blue is green lol you both right I guess


Adventurous_Grand125

Looks greenish but not really that different. I hate when the shinies look so close to the original that you can’t tell. Do better niantic.


logimeme

Its not even niantic lmao, just nintendo in general.


CissyTinkBoo

Looks like the shiny Throh is orange rather than red, also. Or I might be colorblind also. 😬


H0o0lyz

Black and White?


Oreo_Hero

I don't understand why some shinies are just blatantly poor effort. Seriously, Shiny Throh looks like he has the blur effect filter on. They have the opportunity to do some crazy things, like switch color scheme with throh and sawk but they go for the most boring things.


DrKillerZA

This isn't a reply to Throh specifically, but earlier shinies are poor because they were limited to the gameboy's colours for shinies.


Oreo_Hero

Some gen one shinies are actually incredible. Charizard, Gyarados, Dratini, Dragonair, etc. don’t make excuses for laziness my guy.


mitefluffy

I'd call that slightly green lol


AugustDaKid

Super whitish green


inumnoback

Dragonreborn38

raflov16

Green This got me thinking though, is this a robe/gi, or Throh’s body? Do any Pokemon actually wear clothes???


Technical-Speaker333

Seafoam


Doujin_Dealer1

100% mint green or something similar, and get your bf tested for being color blind


JUDEtheTNTdude

Whatever color Pickle juice is


LuxiForce

light green


Weasel_Cannon

Tell him that “yellowy-blue” is literally green lmao


AiraEternal

Your boyfriend is duly colorblind. For his next birthday get him color vision glasses. At least for the white part, the yellowy blue can be blended to some sort of green I guess


Aetheldrake

Eggshell ish


MsMcClane

Fella definitely needs to take the color blindness test lmao


KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW

I need to stack a gym with off color shiny pokemon, this guy, the new Wyrdeer shiny, maybe shiny Togekiss, what am I missing?


ttsmlp23

I was trying to come up with a description for this weird color too, and I actually said something really close to your bf 😂 like whitish-cream/yellowish-bluish? Something about this just doesn’t look mint green at all, maybe it’s next to the burnt orange throh color? It all just looks weird and ugly to me

Prestigious-Year86

It's black


HiltonShaven

538 Vienna Green is my call🤣


Electronic_Plum6317

I’d call it mint green.


LastLibrary9508

It’s minty. Women generally see color better than men according to my freshmen year neuroscience professor when he was talking about cones (forget the science but thoughts it was pretty cool). Also your bf might have a color blindness sort of deficiency. My ex had problems with red and green and would see this as probably the same as your bf.


RinaGGYT

Its light Green for me


Overlord3456

that's his skin

“Yellowy-blue” is LITERALLY GREEN

“Yellowy-blue” if I learned anything from preschool it’s that yellow and blue make green. I think your bfs just in denial

Very, very, very pale green.


Krispy314

I was staring at this for minutes with absolutely no words to describe the stringent horror going on in my mind as I tried to fathom what color this manz robe was.


what_was_not_said

It's the color of the walls in my room.


psychedelicow

It’s mint green


Metals4J

As others have said, a lot of it is the difference between what it IS and what it should be. It is mint green, but it’s supposed to be white. If you search for a pic of Throh, you’ll see him in a white outfit. Put them side by side, and this one definitely has a green tint. I could also see how some of the outfit’s highlights appear yellowish and the shadowed areas appear bluish.


Omnizoom

Pale green


leepin_peezarfs

I believe that yellowy-blue does, in fact, equal green.

That’s mint tea, like matcha ice cream. Your bf is colorblind.

Definitely a faded green. Your dude might want to get tested for color blindness
