The camera is a good point, but monitors don't matter because people have checked the RGB values of the image itself.

I wasn't really talking about how it appears on screen - though that has to be taken on board - but it seems a futile argument as everybody has their monitors calibrated differently I suspect. I tend to think in paint colours because I paint and mix colours in that analogue medium. I think running that image through any kind of colour picker will be meaningless as a definitive answer - to my painter's eye it looks like the very subtle coolness of the yellow is being caused by the greyness of the road/paving beneath it.

Paint isn't really relevant when talking about colors on a screen. Yellow is made from red and green. The less red or blue in a color, the more green it is. The amount of blue doesn't have anything really to do with how green it is, because green is the G in RGB and it doesn't need any help. The colors are all close in red and green levels, which makes them yellows.


It's relevant to the point that I was making (being that even a tiny amount of one colour in another colour can shift the perception of that colour to a surprising degree.)

Particularly the primary ones - yellow being the most readily effected in my experience.

There's a Ford Mondeo that drives around Shrewsbury in that colour, with a chequered flag vinyl sticker up each side.

It's yellow.

The only cars that are allowed to be yellow are Ferraris and Lambos.

And Lotuses/Lotii. Especially the Elan M100, the Elise S2 and the Exige S2. The Esprit doesn't look too bad in yellow either.

The Wood: It's fucking yellow alright?

It was yellow when you posted it on your blog. It was yellow when we argued about it then. It's yellow now.

Buy a new monitor/laptop.

The end.

6 out of 48 voters also thought it was greenish-yellow. The rest of you will be first against the wall when I voted in as mod.

That's a reasonable statistical spread for colour blindness, yes.

This is not a meaningful life. Practicing law, drinking scotch at nine o'clock in the morning. Nine o'clock scotch is meaningful, but practicing law, making money, settling petty disputes...

Sigh.

I had eighteen bottles of whiskey in the cellar, and my wife insisted I empty the contents of each bottle down the sink, or else. After careful consideration, I reluctantly agreed and finally proceeded with the unpleasant task. I withdrew the cork from the first bottle and poured the contents down the sink with the exception of one glass, which I drank. Then, I withdrew the cork from the second bottle and did likewise with it, with the exception of one glass, which I drank. I then withdrew the cork from the third bottle and poured the whiskey down the sink, which I drank. I pulled the cork from the fourth bottle down the sink and poured the bottle down the glass, which I drank. I pulled the bottle from the cork of the next and drank one sink out of it, and threw the rest down the glass. I pulled the sink out of the next glass and poured the cork down the bottle. Then, I corked the sink with the glass, bottled the drink and drank the pour. When I had everything emptied, I steadied the house with one hand, counted the glasses, corks, bottles, and sinks with the other, which were twenty-nine, and as the houses came by I counted them again, and finally I had all the houses in one bottle, which I drank.
