I just found this in the "about" section of the website:
> In early experiments, we found that people's responses cluster around 175, which coincidentally is the same as the named HTML color turquoise. This is interesting, because the nominal boundary between blue and green is at 180, the named HTML color cyan. That means most people's boundaries are shifted toward saying that cyan is blue.
That last sentence surprises me. At least in French, cyan is also considered a shade of blue. For turquoise I can understand that people would call turquoise green, but isn't cyan blue for everyone?
