Talk:Blue-green

message: I'm deleting the redirect. Teal only refers to a darker blue-green; Cyan refers to the lighter variety. They're both equally notable blue-greens. Disamb page! Matt Yeager 06:12, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

message: It appears that "blue-green" has been used as a substitute for cyan, and continues to be occasionally used for this relatively new addition to the color vocabulary. This can be understood as similar to "red-green" in a scenario where we lacked a word for yellow.  Maybe "blue-green" should be redirected to cyan.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mfrittman (talk • contribs) 22:15, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Well, these are just a few comments.  More later.  Keraunos 07:17, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure what this chart is supposed to prove.  The generic name "blue-green" (or perhaps "cyan") includes all of these colors.  --jacobolus (t) 21:53, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: More specifically, the chart proves that of the millions of colors one can make in the RGB space, many of them are blue-green in color.  Without sources, it says nothing about the other names, and their existence is not in itself an argument that they are notable enough to warrant their own article.

thread_title: Shades of cyan color comparison chart

message: * I added two more shades of cyan to the cyan article (the web colors "dark cyan" and "light sea green") and three more shades of turquoise to the turquoise article (the web colors "pale turquoise", "medium turquoise", and "dark turquoise"), and those are only X11 web colors!  By adding Crayola colors and colors from the ISCC-NBS Dictionary of Colo(u)r Names—1955 ISCC-NBS to the articles that exist now, they could all be expanded into full articles and there would be no need to merge the articles.  However, if you have more information about blue-green colors, it seems to me tha place to put it is under cyan.  Keraunos 14:10, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  You realize that ISCC/NBS has several thousand arbitrary color names, right?  And that some of them are associated with multiple "colors"?  A simple link to an online list of ISCC/NBS colors would be just as useful (no, make that more useful) to users as a wikipedia article about each one (here's such a link, if you're interested).  Just as wikipedia is not a dictionary, wikipedia is also not a color book (see WP:NOT). --jacobolus (t) 03:32, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Adding more colors to articles

message: * If you (Jacobolus or Dicklyon) don't approve of the source of the color turquoise, then I think you should take it upon yourselves to find a new source (and change the hex code in the color box accordingly).  A color that has been in use for over four centuries deserves to have its own article in the Wikipedia in my opinion.  Keraunos 19:02, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I put in the X11 numbers and refs like the other variants.  I'm not saying I agree that one has to take on the reponsibility when removing a nonsensical citation, or that every old color rates an article, but I do what I can to help. Dicklyon 20:47, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Source of color Turquoise

message: Hi, everyone
About what colours should be merged i would like to bring up some things to consider. The colour Teal (color) it isn't green nor blue. It's: R-0, G-128, B-128. Like Olive (color) is R-128, G-128, B-0 and Purple is R-128, G-0, B-128. By that point of view, we would have to merge olive in some Shades of green article and purple in some Shades of violet or something like that. Cyan is for yellow and magenta as teal is for olive and purple.  Regarding the Aquamarine (color) and the Turquoise (color), they devrive from the gemstones of the same name, so here, we will have to evaluate the importance of the colours kinda like the notoriety policy of Wikipedia, if they are widely used or known, those kinds of things. Aqua (color), comparing its infobox values with cyan, looks the same to me, the only difference is aqua being a Web color. As for Bondi blue, Electric blue (color) and Robin egg blue, i find no parallel among them, so i think those can be merged, if we really have to merge something. That was my opinion. I hope that there's anything useful in what i wrote.
Keep up the good work. --Bluedenim 21:15, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
