Does it bother you when fellow players refer to cyan as teal

[natty dread]

Cyan is a mixture of blue and green

[Victor Sullivan]

Cyan is a mixture of blue and green

Or perhaps blue and green are mixtures of cyan, magenta, and yellow?

-Sully

No.

Our eyes receive three colours: Red, Green and Blue. Which is because we have Red, Green and Blue cone cells in the eyes. When both Green and Blue cone cells are stimulated, we perceive the colour as cyan. Or teal. Whatever.

No.

I guess it depends on if we're talking light or printer ink

[natty dread]

I guess it depends on if we're talking about additive or substractive colour systems

fixed for accuracy.

[perchorin]

ELO! I mean YES!

[AndyDufresne]

Maybe Turquoise.

Or even better, Tiffany Blue.

Or we just don't know our colors. I call them both at times.

[tdans]

huh? you calling me a holocaust person? damn you Irish!!!!! fyi, when you use a certain thing in photoshop, you can change your body the color of cyan! some would call it teal though..

[mysticbell]

It makes me want to tell them to adjust their monitor .

[xenowolff]

coming from the colorblind section that plays on here (and yes, I use colorcodes,) when someone says 'go after teal' or 'good job teal' I will honestly look for a T.... or would. now I just tell people to get their colors in line (which is kinda Ironic, from my perspective)

[Robinette]

I think that players should refer to that colour as RGB(102,204,255). That's the most exact way to name it

I prefer to think of this color as PANTONE 16-4529

[natty dread]

I refer to it as 0x66ccff.

[xenowolff]

Hexadecimal?

[Dukasaur]

I don't like when people refer to players by color at all. No, that is not a racial thing. The problem is that I will be more likely to read a message that invokes "thegreekdog" than a message that invokes "cyan" or "teal." I try to avoid referring to players by color (and I don't always succeed). In any event, when you have 20 or 50 or 100 games going at once, it can get confusing and time consuming to figure out what player people are referring to.

The trouble is, some players have names that are ridiculous to spell. It's a lot easier to say "Cyan is attacking me" than to say "Fink_11$38_BG is attacking me."

Actually, even your name, while it lacks the irritation of underscores or special characters, is still more typing than I'd care to do.

You should consider condensing the names, Duk

For example, in your reply to greek,
you could have said "Fink is attacking me"

Do you see what i'm saying Duk?

[natty dread]

I usually call the cyan player "sweet cheeks" and the blue one "snookums"...

You don't even want to know what I call yellow...

[obliterationX]

Doesn't it look different in some browsers, or at least used to?

By the way, this is a really fruitful source for discussion.

I do actually...

I guess you have no choice then but to try to join one of my games as the yellow player

Yeah Rob, of course I understand. And if I'm the one initiating a conversation in game chat, that is often exactly what I do. But if I'm joining a conversation that someone else has initiated, then I try to follow their lead. It just seems contrary, if my team-mate says "I think Yellow is on Istanbul now" to rejoin with, "Yes, Fink probably has Istanbul."

[squishyg]

Maybe Turquoise.

Or even better, Tiffany Blue.

Can I change my name color to Tiffany Blue?!? Please, oh please?!?

So D, seems to me it's still be more typing than I'd care to do.

Perhaps a better response to your partner would be "Yup"
