Talk:Teal (color)

Untitled

Um...What research backs your claim that Men think of teal as a green and women think of it as a blue? That seems like an unresearched assertion to me, not something based on fact. Can someone cite this? Or else, get rid of it? 68.193.53.233 23:16, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Also, of what relevance is World of Warcraft to this colour? This is antecdotal at best.

WHERE IS THE COLOUR?!?!

WRITE AN ARTICLE ABOUT A COLOUR WITHOUT THE COLOUR ITSELF? IS IT JUST ME OR IS THAT JUST RIDICULOUS? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.144.11.50 (talk) 08:55, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Duck origins

An IP added something to the extent that some "scientists" doubt the etymology of the color name. I've given this a fact template.  — AnnaKucsma   (Talk to me!) 16:21, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I've deleted this, the citation given backed up the duck theory and didn't say anything about anyone doubting that. The use of "teal" as a colour is so recent anyway (20th century) that there probably isn't anything that colour scientists are missing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.141.15.138 (talk) 22:30, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

THANX for adding additional swatch. It's a common colour at Sikh Weddings offsetting with a more masculine blue(y)~green. also works well with dusty rose, Fuschia, etc. coral pink is nice, though. THANX OOXX :-) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Indikaursidhu (talk • contribs) 17:41, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Found in nature?

Can someone include places in nature where the color teal is found? I have only found two such places.--Beezer137 (talk) 22:43, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Teal in culture

There ought to be a mention of the infrequent use of teal as a name. Coral's got the mention why doesn't its complement? I ask this because my name is Teal, and I have read of other people named Teal, although it's uncommon. Still, I would appreciate the mention. I would add it myself, but i wanted to ask permission. 24.12.166.210 (talk) 01:11, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

More green or blue?

The article starts with "Teal is a medium blue-green color, although it is more blue than green" but the RGB representation given is (0, 128, 128) - meaning there's exactly as much blue as green in it So, how is it finally? 93.97.12.228 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:26, 7 January 2010 (UTC).

I second this. It might be related to the human eye, which perceives green in more shades. But I don't think it perceives green as brighter. Changing it until proven wrong. 85.122.63.98 (talk) 13:30, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
