That wasn't clearly part of the test. To be ultra-pedantic (this is HN after all), the user's choices don't say "This is more-blue-than-green" and "This is more-green-than-blue". The choices are only "This is green" and "This is blue" forcing you to just pick one, where there is no clearly correct choice. When the color on the screen is neither green nor blue, many people will just pick a random answer.
I bet if the choices actually said "This is more green than blue" the results would be different.
Turqoise doesn't feel either more-green-than-blue or more-blue-than-green. It feels neither blue nor green, and I don't see any way to compare it to either.
It's clearly more turqoise than blue. Or green.
Turqoise on a computer monitor is always missing part of itself, so maybe I should've answered based on that, but I don't think the computer monitor was the point.
180 and blue and I suspect that language also plays a part (I was brought up in an environment where the word turquoise starts with green, but now live in a turquoise-producing state where the finished product look far blue-r.)
But it isn't. Turquoise is turquoise, and since that wasn't an option, I picked one at random.
The whole point is demarcating the line between where colors seem more-blue-than-green, and more-green-than-blue.

It’s not a line though, it’s a range where you can see it either way, like a flipping Necker cube.
176 for me its blue

i mean i always saw turquoise as a greenish light blue, so it kinda makes sense
