    Definitely different depending on your screens. I tried it on my desktop monitor, which is fairly decently calibrated, and I got 192 (quite high - bluer than 98% of pop. at the time). It was basically impossible not to notice any hint of green tinge in the background. On my phone, I got 171 (bluer than 68% pop. at the time). I took the tests back to back.

    I moved the window between my two desktop monitors just now, and my second monitor is not only older tech, but it’s also not color-calibrated at all (or calibrated poorly). A lot of the greener-looking colors on my more accurate monitor looked sky blue on the other monitor.

    Edit: eh… I just took it on my phone again and got 192 this time lol. It’s probably because the colors close to the boundary don’t fit into blue or green for me, I’d rather be able to select both/none. Being forced the choose one kinda makes it subjective to how I’m feeling about it at the time. But I know that’s not really the point of this test.







  • Ha, what a great acronym! I will say, for anyone in this thread who does photography and is considering making the switch, I can’t recommend it enough. I upgraded from a DSLR to mirrorless early this year (Nikon D750 -> Nikon Zf), and it’s been a game-changer for me.

    Specifically, I know the EVF is a point of contention for some. Many people prefer optical because you can get a clear view of the scene as you would see it with your eyes. However, I really prefer the “what you see is what you get” approach of EVFs. Being able to visualize the exposure and DOF in real-time has been super beneficial, in my experience.
